SuperENC: MPEG-2 video encoder chip

Abstract

Thanks to increased market acceptance of applications such as digital versatile disks (DVDs), HDTV, and digital satellite broadcasting, the MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group-2) standard is becoming widely used. The MPEG-2 video standard, established in 1934, provides for a high-quality video compression format that, through high bit rates and frame rates, yields high-resolution video images. Emerging multimedia applications, such as digital versatile disk and high-definition television, demand higher quality video than ever before. In response, our MPEG-2 video encoder chip supports multiple profiles and levels.
