AL-E200 Encoder IP

Allegro DVT’s AL-E200 encoder IP features a new hardware architecture that minimizes the silicon area while enabling 4K resolution encoding in a single core and beyond in a multi-core configuration. The AL-E200 encoder is built around a true multi format architecture that shares resources between the H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC and JPEG compression standards, while providing superior video encoding quality. The AL-E200 also has multiple new smart encoding features allowing customers to considerably reduce the bitrate to meet their application specific requirements.

AL-E200 encoder IP targets high-end applications such as:

• Digital still and digital video cameras
• Video surveillance
• Video transcoding and broadcasting
• Wireless display
• VR/AR
• Automotive
