Fremont, California, Sept. 07, 2016 – 

PathPartner Technology, a leading provider of embedded multimedia software services and solutions is returning to IBC 2016. PathPartner's HEVC team will demonstrate their licensable solutions at IBC 2016, including the latest generation HEVC decoder on Xilinx Zynq 7045 and Kintex Ultrascale+TM with 4K resolution support. The highlights (given below) of this year's demonstrations are real time encoding and decoding up to 60 fps.

• 4Kp30 HEVC decoder on FPGA
  • Low power decoder solution for IBBP sequences
  • Customizable interfaces
  • Includes color conversion and display manager
  • Leverages error concealment algorithm
• 4Kp30 HEVC encoder on Xeon E5 server
  • Real-time UHD encoding with best quality parameters
  • Supports MPEG-2 TS packaging
  • Configurable number of core usage
  • User selectable encoding parameters
  • Supports broadcast quality RA and low-delay IPPP

RamKishor Korada, Co-founder and Marketing & Sales Head of PathPartner, said, "We have been licensing multimedia codec components to OEMs and Semiconductor companies for a decade now. PathPartner's extensive experience with OEMs from Broadcast, Online gaming, Video conferencing and Media streaming companies, ensures our offerings are highly customizable for your broadcast workflow."

A dedicated team for developing HEVC solutions was started in PathPartner, way back in 2011. Since then, they are focused on continuous improvement of the quality and performance of both encoder and decoder to achieve optimized video delivery.

PathPartner, now offers highly scalable and multi-channel HEVC Decoder solution on FPGA which was initiated with a vision of emerging into 'One Stop Shop for all HEVC solutions'. PathPartner started porting a complete software solution on ARM+FPGA SoC in 2014. They pioneered Hybrid HEVC Decoder on Zynq 7045 with 1080p 30fps solution in 2015 at NAB show, demonstrating their accomplishment of real time decoding on Zynq 7045 at 1080p, 30fps as a milestone just a year ago. And, at this year's IBC, the team is all excited to demonstrate real time streaming from PC based encoder and FPGA decoder.

PathPartner also offers real-time UHD decoder implementations on

• Quad core ARM (1080p60, 420, 10-bit) which was licensed to a Tier-1 Automotive SoC
• Intel i5 and i7 CPUs (4Kp60, 420, 8-bit)
• Intel i7 + Iris pro GPU (4Kp60, 422, 10-bit) and
• Xilinx Zynq-7000 (4Kp30, 420, 8-bit)

PathPartner has a flexible business model and focusses on performance and quality which has enabled their customers to deploy our HEVC solutions.
