Ultra-HDTVs Get New Ultra-Efficient Coding Chip



Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have unveiled a new high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) chip during this week’s International Solid-State Circuits Conference in San Francisco, the MIT News Office reported on Wednesday.
Although the chip is not intended for commercial release, its developers believe the challenge of implementing HEVC algorithms in silicon helps illustrate design principles that could be highly useful.
“It is now possible for us to figure out ways in which different types of video data actually interact with hardware,” said Mehul Tikekar, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science, and co-author of a recent paper about the work. “People don’t really know, ‘What is the hardware complexity of doing, say, different types of video streams?’”
