TI Will Enable the Future of Video Entertainment via Multi-Format Transcoding<br />
Transcoding will be essential for the continued evolution of the<br />
video entertainment market since content is king and consumers<br />
demand transportability of video on any device. Transcoding is<br />
the ability to take existing video content and change the format,<br />
bitrate and/or resolution in order to view it on another video<br />
playback device. Transcoding a single video format is available<br />
today but that will not meet consumers’ needs to easily navigate<br />
the changing video environment. The ability to seamlessly view<br />
content on any device in real-time requires the need to<br />
transcode many video formats, thus multi-format transcoding is<br />
key.<br />

Multi-format transcoding is the most important challenge to<br />
overcome for manufacturers and service providers to solve<br />
before realizing the potential tremendous growth in video.<br />
Consumers have an insatiable appetite for immersion in entertainment,<br />
and transcoding multiple formats in real-time will be a<br />
necessary function for all future video products to be successful.<br />
TI will leverage its proven expertise in supporting multi-format<br />
advanced video codecs and its unique position as the only single<br />
<strong>DSP</strong> provider performing transcoding to enabling this key market<br />
need. A research study done by IDC finds that transcoding is an<br />
essential technology for delivering digital content to video playback<br />
devices that were previously incompatible. Read more<br />
As the accelerating video market extends its reach to products such as<br />
cell phones, portable media players and automotive infotainment systems,<br />
consumers are demanding easy access to their video content<br />
throughout the home and on the go. Multi-format transcoding will<br />
enable the seamless transmission of video content between all types of<br />
video devices.<br />
