A Prototyping Co-design Platform with A Simplified Architecture for Video Codec Implementation
Yifeng Qiu, Wael Maged Badawy, Robert D. Turney · 2007
This paper presents an integrated hardware-accelerated co-design platform with novel and simplified system architecture for MPEG-4/H.264 video codec implementation. The generic prototyping hardware modules are utilized for data communications, signal exchange and video IP integration based on the concept of virtual socket between a host and reconfigurable FPGA co-processor. The hardware implementation for MPEG-4/H.264 video codec can be therefore facilitated and verified on this co-design platform system
