It is an AI-powered Super Resolution technology that upscales videos to high resolution and improves video quality by using temporal and spatial information.
A high-performance AV1 encoder, the next generation video codec format, developed using semiconductor design technologies
Supports more videos with less data than traditional codecs
Due to an increase in video traffic, expenses associated with data storage and network are rising. AV1, the next-generation codec standard with high compression efficiency, is becoming an alternative to the existing H.264. However, due to high computational load, software-based AV1 encoder requires further computational cost increases, making codec replacement difficult.
BLUEDOT leverages semiconductor design technology to accelerate and lower the cost of AV1 encoding.
