Single-chip IC supports 4K media playback
A single-chip IC for 4K/p60, HEVC and VP9 playback with built-in HDMI-Tx/Rx has been released by Socionext. The MN2WS03101A is compatible with HEVC Main 10 profile, and supports new copyright protection, HDR and wide colour gamut.
As 4K resolution video becomes more popular and a wider variety of video content is available through the network, there is a high need for a playback capability for new video formats in addition to conventional full HD. HEVC, the new data compression technology is being adopted now for 4K Video, in particular. The market requires a compact, low-power chip that performs real-time decoding of HEVC-compressed 4K/p60 video, allowing output of high quality video with various image processing effects.
The IC supports 4K/p60 video all the way through input, decoding to output. It can accommodate the high quality playback of 4K video such as HEVC, VP9 and H.264. It supports the up-conversion of Full HD videos with the conventional codec standards, such as H264 or MPEG-2, to 4K, using super-resolution processing.
The device is also capable of real-time, multi-channel and 4X speed transcoding of Full HD one-channel video, which is applicable for media distribution equipment such as recoding instruments or home gateways.
Other MN2WS03101A features include: HDMI 2.0 Input (HDCP2.2), high quality and high definition video processing (HDR, BT. 2020) and stress-free special processing such as image compositing, rotation, or deforming. It is sampling now in a FCBGA-1177 31x31mm package. Socionext plans to start volume production of the IC in the second half of 2015, targeting it for next-gen 4K video equipment.
Socionext will showcase MN2WS03101A at Computex Taipei 2015, which takes place from 2nd to 6th June. The company will be located at booth N0108 in Nangang Hall.
