ARC® Video Subsystem

Designed by Video Professionals

ARC Video is the only multiprotocol video encoder/decoder IP on the market fully designed and supported from hardware to the consumers eyes by Video professionals in one company. This results in low risk for SoC and OEM customers alike, and also in an undeniably high quality viewing experience.

Enable Capture and Playback of Exceptional Quality Video

As consumers demand better and better experience from their video-capable devices that capture, share and playback video, designers have to create SoCs that enable high quality visual experience while consuming minimal power. Capable of supporting virtually any format, ARC® Video subsystems can encode and decode exceptional quality video. SoC designers can choose from a wide range of application-optimized ARC Video products to build highly differentiated SoCs.

Exceptional Quality Video Capture at Lowest Power
ARC® Video Subsystems set the standard for high quality video encoding. Using ARC’s patent-pending "Dynamic Adaptive Encoding" technology they can adaptively apply different processing resources to achieve the highest quality result within a specified power budget. For example, Dynamic Adaptive Encoding allows the designer to adjust the encoding process in a phone with a fully charged battery versus one running close to empty to maximize the recording time.

Benefits
