Video Infrastructure transcoding systems are widely used in broadcast, content delivery, and cloud media service networks. In these systems video content can be provided from multiple sources: network streaming, local and remote storage facilities, or live feeds. Once received, the content is often transcoded in real-time, or faster-than-real-time, and converted to a variety of content formats tailored for network bandwidths and client display formats.
Video transcoding may be performed with or without fully decoding the original content. Transcoding without full decoding implements special algorithms to reuse partial coding parameters for recoding. In this case, application-specific algorithms are deployed to prevent quality drift incurred by incomplete encoding loops. Whereas using the full decode technique the original content is decoded into pixels before encoding to the desired output. This transcoding approach has become very popular, allowing pixel-level mid-processing functions such as: content enhancement, video analytics and alpha-blending.
This concept VI system combines the highly-integrated Davinci Digital Media System-On-Chip (SOC) with an optional multi-core DSP module that handles 4:2:2 professional video and enhanced video analytics.
