First VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC) Decoder IP Announced by Hardent

April 7, 2014

Hardent Inc. introduces the first real-time video compression intellectual property (IP) technology that is VESA Display Stream Compression (DSC)-compliant. This decoder will facilitate electronics manufacturers with accelerating time-to-market for ultra high-definition resolution products.

Hardent, a leading electronics consulting company specialized in ASIC and FPGA design services, announces the release of a video compression intellectual property (IP) technology to assist consumer electronics and video equipment manufacturers in the development of SoC, ASIC and ASSP display technology compliant with the latest Display Stream Compression (DSC) standard from the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA®). The DSC decoder IP is the first of its kind on the market, enabling electronics manufacturers to use a ready-made quality solution to accelerate DSC adoption.

Real-time video compression has become ubiquitous for mobiles, tablets and ultra high-definition television (UHDTV) applications. By applying visually lossless video compression between the application processor and the display sub-system inside devices, VESA DSC allows manufacturers to leverage current industry transport mechanisms (MIPI® DSI, VESA DisplayPort™) in the ever-increasing display resolution product trend. “The processing and transport bandwidth requirements of 4K, UHD and emerging 8K resolutions applications impose new design challenges.” says Simon Robin, president of Hardent Inc. “We anticipate that companies will adopt the Display Stream Compression (DSC) standard in their products to help lower costs, save power and reduce electromagnetic interferences (EMI).”

Hardent has been an active member of VESA’s DSC Task Group and contributed to the development of the latest standards in real-time video compression and display technology. “Our unique position, as part of the VESA DSC Task Group, has allowed Hardent to design a top-quality IP with a true understanding of the interoperability and standard compliance design considerations,” explains Alain Legault, principal at Hardent. “By using Hardent’s DSC decoder IP, electronics manufacturers will be able to take full advantage of an existing IP core with a verification environment supported by high-quality professional services, saving the time and trouble associated with redesigning an industry standard decoder.”

Hardent’s team of engineers and consultants has extensive experience in video-related projects, focusing on different aspects of the industry including video connectivity, transport, codecs and processing. Learn more about Hardent’s design work for the video industry. If you would like to receive more information regarding the VESA-compliant Display Stream Compression (DSC) Decoder IP, please contact Hardent.

I’ve worked with Hardent for many years and have recommended them a few times in the past. Hardent has always been extremely successful with their clients. They have many flexible ways of working with a client and will negotiate a mutually beneficial solution.

In our case, they just log into our servers and we are in constant contact via IM, email, phone, etc., but they have all their own design tools as well, so they can work either way. Being in the same time zone makes working with them easy. I am sure you will be happy with the outcome of their work. They’ll hit the ground running much faster than a single contractor would.
