Aspex is a Fabless Semiconductor company that specialises in technology for encoding/compression of HD video. We supply our own chips to customers, we license our IP and we supply design services - offering a complete route to silicon for customers requiring the highest video quality, support for multiple standard codecs and the most flexible user-programming environment.

Aspex introduces the Q IP block, incorporating its 8th generation processing architecture, developed to offer studio-quality encoding of HD video.

Digital video is finding its way onto an increasing variety of fixed and portable devices, from phones and iPods, PVRs and laptops, through to the latest Blu-Ray and HD-DVD recorders, with shipments of video processing chips forecast to reach 1.6 billion units by 2011.

As each video-enabled device has its own limitations on screen resolution, bitrate and video codec support, digital media streams frequently need to be converted, or "transcoded", to a different resolution, bitrate or codec, to ensure compatibility with the viewing device.

Aspex's Q IP block delivers the highest flexibility to allow video encoding in a variety of devices and applications. Q supports all the latest codecs (including H.264/AVC and MPEG2/MPEG4), at wide range of resolutions and bitrates.
