We have all experienced it…. either in the midst of conference video call with colleagues, family, friends or while watching videos online and all of a sudden there is an unwanted pause, the screen freezes, a moving circle that we all hate appears in front of us, killing the fun and leaving us frustrated. A common problem which arises due to inefficient compression standards that takes up huge network space and cause high latency.
However, over the past years, compression standards have undergone major advancements, triggering large scale implications in various applications such as security surveillance system and online video broadcast. Advancements in video compression standards such as H.264 (AVC) and H.265 (HEVC) have made it possible for users to stream Full HD, 4K and even 8K videos in real time with high quality and detailing, while taking up less bandwidth and processing time.
The embedded board manufacturer iWave Systems has developed System on Modules to address the high latency in streaming applications. By implementing Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ FPGAs we can transform user experience like never before.
