The Hz2010 incorporates a multi-standard high definition video encoder natively supporting resolutions of 1080/60p and below, and implementing leading compression standards including , an advanced video pre-processor featuring motion compensated spatio-temporal noise reduction filtering, motion-adaptive de-interlacer, frame rate conversion and advanced scaling, a high performance audio encoder engine enabling encoding to various audio formats such as MPEG-1, AC-3, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, AAC and WMA, a programmable high-bandwidth transport processor, as well as a multi-standard conditional access/digital rights management security processor. Horizon's Hz2010 is provided with a comprehensive software stack and a reference hardware platform designed to significantly accelerate OEM/ODM development cycle.The unrivalled professional broadcast-quality video/audio of the HZ2010 will allow broadband providers to securely deliver media streams from the head-end to the set-top box, using unmatched quality and bitrates, freeing space for more channels at lower cost.The Hz2010 is designed with the highest level of integration, embedding a variety of cutting edge technologies such as: Professional multi stream encoder engine, supporting real-time encoding of 1920x1080/60p, or faster than real time lower-resolution media streams, using leading compression standards including: H.264 (AVC) Baseline, Main and High Profile up to Level 4.2, VC-1 (SMPTE 421M) Advanced , Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, AAC/AAC-LC/AAC-HE, DTS, DTS-HD (DTS++), WMA and WMA Pro. Advanced motion estimation engine for accurate motion tracing with extra wide search range (in both P and B pictures), capable of tracking fast motion in high definition content. Frame, field, picture adaptive field/frame (PAFF) and macroblock adaptive field/frame (MBAFF) encoding. Entire suite of AVC encoding modes, including partition and sub-partition, multiple reference pictures, hierarchical GOP, direct and direct 8x8 modes, all intra-prediction modes and weighted prediction. Automatic scene change, fade-in / fade-out, repeated field detection. Advanced video pre-processor, supporting temporal, spatial and non-linear adaptive noise reduction. Advanced multi-pass rate control with vector based content detection and video quality optimizer, supporting high-quality CBR and VBR modes. High performance full complexity rate distortion optimization co-processor capable of fully encoding and decoding of tens of encoding scenarios per macroblock, enabling selection of best encoding mode based on optimal rate-distortion trade-off. High speed de-blocking in-loop filtering, CABAC and CAVLC engines. Multi-stream high bandwidth flexible multiplexor processor, supporting MPEG2 transport and program formats, as well as essential web and mobile delivery file formats such as M2T, MPG, MP4, ASF, AVI, MKV, and others. Wide variety of advanced connectivity and peripherals including DVB TS, 10/100/1G Ethernet, USB 2.0, IDE/ATAPI, SMPTE-292, Flash, I2C, SPI/SSI, UART and others. Powerful, easy to use API, with the ability to accelerate and off-load host application code. Downloads For further product information pleasecontact us Latest News & Events
