System-on-Chip Technologies Information

System-On-Chip (SOC) Technologies is a Waterloo based technology company, specializing in High Definition (HD) MPEG-2 and H.264 video codecs (720i/p, 1080i/p, 2k and 4k resolutions). SOC's MPEG codecs are implemented using its proprietary technology of single-clock driven, all-hardware architecture (without processors and embedded software), which has a small silicon footprint, low power consumption, high speed, and low latency. The SOC MPEG video/audio codecs are in the form of IP cores (for licensing or purchase) and FPGA based discrete modules (similar to an ASIC). SOC customizes the designs to suit the needs of its customers. SOC also manufactures end-user products based on its single chip technolgy, which includes FPGA prototyping boards and video-over-IP devices.
