Hi,
I'm looking for and ARM processor with an hardware H.264 encoder.
The production volume is 5000 boards a year.
The product will be ready in the Q1 of 2017 therefore I can evaluate also microprocessor in a preview status.
Thanks for any help,
Enrico Migliore
I was actually looking for a low power solution like RENESAS R-CAR T2:
www.renesas.com/.../r-car-t2.html
It's a Cortex M3 that encodes H.264 streams at 30 fps, 1280 x 960 pixels, YUV420 format consuming only 40 mW (milli Watts).
Ciao,
For sure it could be a really good choice
Though I'm a bit late, I'd like to add Amlogic; they make several Cortex-A based microprocessors, which have a H.264 encoder.
The S905 might be the most interesting one at the moment, it's a 2GHz 64-bit quad-core Cortex-A53 and it supports GigaBit Ethernet, so it's one of the faster kids on the block.
Qualcomm makes a nice processor that includes H.264 encoding & decoding. It also includes other types of video encoding.
A good quality development board is the 820 dev kit.

It's what I use day in and day out. But, then again I work for the company.. 8-)

Hi Liugx08,
thank you for your answer.
Do you know where I can buy those chips?
NVIDIA's Tegra series are well known for their video capabilities, and have embedded encoders and decoders for various formats, including H.264
Hi3518C, HI3518E,H.264BaselineProfile,H.264MainProfile,ARM926, Hisilicon
NXP i.MX6 family has several family members with a HW encoder engine.

Look for the ones here that list HD Video.
