About video-cores.com

Development Process

Creating an industry-standard core is a process that starts with the reading of the official standard and discussing among the team any questions regarding interpretation. When needed, one of many industry expert advisors are consulted on specific interpretation details. Real-life usage cases and extra tolerances are added to make sure that the video cores will interface with other cores or chips.  video-cores.com only develops interfaces or video processing blocks in which at least one of the team members has been a very experienced industry user.

Cores that don't follow standards are created to provide the smallest and fastest design that provides the image or sound quality that the customer approves.

A core test plan identifies all normal-usage and corner cases and defines a detailed set of directed and pseudo-random tests to run.

Each core is written in close consultation with the IEEE 1364-2001 Verilog standard and cross-checked with multiple simulation, code checking and synthesis tools.

The core is complete when it passes a regression that includes measurements for functional coverage, code coverage and code checking guidelines.
