Digital Video IP Cores

Cameras and displays for digital video and images are designed with chips to do their processing. Video chips, in turn, depend on hardware designs that are licensed as semiconductor intellectual property (IP cores). IP cores are designed for digital video encoders, decoders, transcoders, codecs, image signal processors, preprocessors, scalers, deinterlacers, frame rate converters, and other digital video and image processing functions. Below is a nearly definitive list of the companies that sell licenses to digital video processing IP cores for SoCs.
