Hello. I am new to DSP, even more - i am not even in DSP theme at the moment. Problem is - i need to transcode video from 12mbps MPEG2 to any other format, that will need less bps. In realtime. For example i can downscale the video (from FullHD to 640x360), or i can transcode to H.264 My main ARM-based CPU has insufficient processing power to do this in realtime. So i need external IC, that will do the work. MPEG IC's are now outdated and most of them are EOL. So i need FPGA (that have the price far over budget) or DSP. Here comes the question - what is the minimal DSP to transcode/downscale the video stream? I understand, that the answer depends on quality of code and exact pipeline, but in theory - what is the minimum? _____________________________ Posted through www.DSPRelated.com
