AV2 decoder joins multi-codec IP family
Allegro DVT’s Pulsar D400 series of multi-format video decoder IP now supports real-time AV2 decoding for advanced SoCs and ASICs. AV2, developed by the Alliance for Open Media, is an open, royalty-free video compression specification designed for next-generation streaming applications. As the successor to AV1, it improves compression efficiency, delivering high-quality video at significantly lower bitrates.
With AV2 capability, the Pulsar D400 series enables streaming applications up to 8K resolution with ultra-low-latency decoding (down to the sub-frame). Its multi-codec architecture supports H.264, HEVC, VVC, VP9, and AV1, while reducing silicon footprint, DDR memory bandwidth requirements, and power consumption.
Allegro DVT also provides AV2 development and validation tools, including the Sirius AV2 Test Suites and Astralis AV2 Bitstream Analyzer, along with silicon-proven IP and compliance expertise.
