Abstract

The emergence of the Reconfigurable Video Coding (RVC) Standard has led to the development of its accompanying decoding Video Tool Library (VTL). This library is comprised of a set of video coding tool also referred to as Functional Units (FUs) that are combined to form the different video decoders. This paper introduces a set of FUs that represent potential contributors to the RVC Encoding Toolbox corresponding to the AVC baseline profile entropy coding modules. The modules are implemented using RVC-CAL, and has been synthesized into hardware targeting the Virtex 5 FPGA. A novel memory model for the Look Up Tables (LUTs) is also introduced and introduces up to 31.5% of savings in the space required to store them. The results being compared to other implementations from the literature show substantial improvement to traditional implementation approaches using C/C++ or VHDL conclude the paper.

High Efficiency Video Coding

High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265 and MPEG-H Part 2, is a video compression standard designed as part of the MPEG-H project as a successor to the widely used Advanced Video Coding (AVC, H.264, or MPEG-4 Part 10). In comparison to AVC, HEVC offers from 25% to 50% better data compression at the same level of video quality, or substantially improved video quality at the same bit rate. It supports resolutions up to 8192×4320, including 8K UHD, and unlike the primarily 8-bit AVC, HEVC's higher fidelity Main 10 profile has been incorporated into nearly all supporting hardware.

Advanced Video Coding

Advanced Video Coding (AVC), also referred to as H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 10, is a video compression standard based on block-oriented, motion-compensated coding. It is by far the most commonly used format for the recording, compression, and distribution of video content, used by 91% of video industry developers . It supports a maximum resolution of 8K UHD. The intent of the H.264/AVC project was to create a standard capable of providing good video quality at substantially lower bit rates than previous standards (i.

Video codec

A video codec is software or hardware that compresses and decompresses digital video. In the context of video compression, codec is a portmanteau of encoder and decoder, while a device that only compresses is typically called an encoder, and one that only decompresses is a decoder. The compressed data format usually conforms to a standard video coding format. The compression is typically lossy, meaning that the compressed video lacks some information present in the original video.
