H.265 / HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding)

H.265 or also referred to as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the newest video coding standard which enables significantly improved compression performance relative to H.264 standards. The HEVC standard provides high coding efficiency, data loss resilience, ease of integration into transport system and ability to be implemented using parallel processing architectures.

HEVC design enhances compression efficiency by 50% and has proven effective for low bit rates, high-resolution video content, and low latency communication applications delivering the same video quality at half the bit rate.

The HEVC standard has opened avenues for rich multimedia consumption thus creating opportunities and challenges for device manufacturers and service providers. Companies have to explore HEVC standard's parallel processing architectures and exploit existing hardware capabilities to shorten time-to-market.

With Zeteon's Octon-V H.265 HEVC encoding and decoding software IP core, companies can achieve highest levels of compression efficiency and rapidly move from concept to production to product launch.

Major applications areas include mobile phone, tablets, notebooks, Set-top boxes, OTT boxes, Smart TVs, networked DVD players, video cameras, CCTV cameras, in-vehicle systems etc.

Our codecs are validated on several target operating systems including Android, Linux, Windows Phone etc. These codecs are highly optimized for peak performance on various target architectures to help device manufacturers, semiconductor companies, ODM/OEMs and ISVs beat time-to-market for their specific applications.
