Professional Video Solutions

The professional, post-production and broadcast video markets today are faced with every-increasing demands for advanced video processing.  The fast-growing move to high-definition, and higher frame rates such as 1080p60 is one factor.  Another factor is the advance of standards, such as H.264’s Scalable Video Coding (SVC) for distribution and AVC-Intra for acquisition and contribution.  Only a powerful, fully-programmable platform can address the continually evolving professional requirements and evolution of video compression standards, let alone proprietary algorithms and codecs.

Ambric has developed a Rapid Media Processing Platform to support the demanding time-to-market requirements of professional and broadcast video. RMP Press Release >

Rapid Media Processing (RMP) Platform
RMP is an integrated hardware and software platform that enables unprecedented rapid development of rich media processing solutions. The RMP platform helps developers build interoperable processing functions, such as codecs, filters, and transforms that run on highly scalable hardware with a common host application layer, or in embedded systems.  An ecosystem of third-party developers offers OpenVIS-compliant IP that can be rapidly integrated with your own software.

The RMP platform consists of five elements:
• Am2000™ family of MPPA devices
• Rich set of media processing IP blocks
• aDesigner™ tool suite, libraries and drivers
• Am2045™ GT family of reference boards
• OpenVIS interoperability compliance specification

Applications
• Codecs
• Broadcasting
• Transcoding
• Non-linear editing
• Image Processing
