Stepdigital
| About us | Step Digital is mainly focused on DSP(DigitalSignal Processing) or embedded programmable IC system, including algorithm development and optimized software implementation. Step Digital is actively looking for strategic partners and investors to work together on exploiting DSP based or embedded programmable IC system product opportunities in "Portable media device(includingPMP)", "Media center", "Personal video recorder", "Embedded hard disk video recorder ", "Video Phone". Step Digital has developed SOC(systemon chip) DSP and PC based products. They can be easily customized according to requirements. They include video CODECs(MPEG4H264), and standard audio CODECs(MP3G726, etc. ). The DSP systems include TI DSC25/DM270/DM275 and Philips Trimedia..264 Codec, MPEG4 Codec, Audio Codec ) Recently H.264 and Microsoft Windows Media Series 9(WM9)a variation of H.264, have been adopted in the next generation DVD format - HD-DVD. WM9 was claimed to have better image quality than JM(JointModel) H.264. According to TI 600 MHz DM642 demo, encoder speeds of TI implementation for both H.264 and WM9 were 30 fps for D1 resolution. Step Digital's H.264 technology supports H.264 baseline profile and main profile. Fully compliant with ITU-T H.264, or ISO/IEC 14496-10(MPEG4Part 10/Advanced Video Coding standard), Baseline Profile @L3 targets low-end devices for stored playback or streaming and supports progressive video, Main Profile @ L3 targets broadcast quality video and supports interlaced and progressive video, B frames, Multiple references, CABAC, Bit-stream interface at the NAL(NetworkAdaptation Layer) unit level. Step Digital's H.264 codec is one of the fastest H.264 CODECs in the world. With the same bit rate, not only the image quality obtained by Step H.264 encoder is better than WM9 one, but also Step encoder is much faster than WM9. Step Digital is still working on image quality improvement. Please come back to check how good it will be. Step Digital's MPEG4 technology supports MPEG4 simple profile and advanced simple profile. Step Digital developed an proprietary codec implementation of MPEG4 technology with fast processing speed, high compression rate, and DivX compatible. |
