Fujitsu Launches New Ultra-Low Power Full HD H.264 CODEC LSIs

( 1 Mar 2009 )

Fujitsu Microelectronics Asia Pte Ltd’s H.264 CODEC LSIs encode and decode Full HD (1,920 dots x 1,080 lines) video in the H.264 format. The ultra-low power MB86H55 features power consumption of only 500mW during Full HD encoding including the in-package memory. The upcoming MB86H56 LSI, meanwhile, will offer processing of Full HD video at 60fps (progressive), 60p, to improve picture quality even further. Measuring 15x15mm, the two products have memory in-package, making it ideal to record, play and transmit superior picture quality HD video on portable devices such as digital camcorders, as well as on home networked appliances, commercial broadcast equipment, and security cameras. These two devices utilize Fujitsu Laboratories’ proprietary picture quality algorithm to for superior picture quality and a reduced video processing burden enabled by high-compression technology.
