JPEG, Codec

"Implements a high-performance, half-duplex image or video encoder/decoder (codec) that complies with the baseline ISO/IEC 10918-1 JPEG standard. One of the fastest available JPEG cores, the JPEG-C provides a high-performance solution for a variety of image and video decompression applications. It can, for example, encode or decode over 30 frames/sec of 4:3 HDTV, 1440x1152, 4:2:0. In addition to processing baseline JPEG streams, the core can compress or decompress non-standard motion JPEG streams. It also has two options. Encoding can be enhanced with an optional add-on bit-rate control block, which may benefit applications that have tight bandwidth constraints. Decoding may be enhanced with an optional IDCT block that enables down-scaling in the frequency domain, a feature that allows decompression at various resolutions from the same compressed stream. The core includes FIFO-like pixel and stream input/output interfaces, and other standard interfaces (e.g. AMBA) are also a! vailable. The core is designed for reliability and ease of integration, and has been proven in a number of ASIC and FPGA designs. The deliverables include a software bit-accurate model that facilitates system-on-chip verification.
