Hi3510 working principle Hi3510-H.264 BP algorithm video compression chip

Hi3510 is a video compression chip based on the H.264 BP algorithm launched by HiSilicon. The chip uses a multi-core highly integrated SoC architecture with ARM + DSP + hardware acceleration engine and has powerful video processing functions. It can realize the real-time encoding performance of DVD picture quality, and can adapt to various network environments to ensure the clarity and real-time of the picture. The low bit rate H.264 encoding technology greatly reduces the network storage space, and through the integration of DES / 3DES plus The decryption hardware engine ensures network security. Hi3510 uses 0.13μm process, LFBGA400 package, size is 19 × 19mm, pin pitch is 0.8mm, integrated on-chip interface including digital video interface, USB, ETH, I2S, I2C, GPIO, SPI, UART, SDRAM, DDR It can greatly reduce the BOM cost of the device while meeting the development of the device in various application scenarios.
The working principle of Hi3510: The video input unit receives the digital video information output by VADC through the ITU-R BT.601 / 656 interface, and writes the received original image to external memory (SDR SDRAM or DDR SDRAM) through the AHB bus ; Video codec reads images from external memory, performs motion estimation (inter prediction), intra prediction, DCT transform, quantization, entropy coding (CAVLC + Exp-Golomb), IDCT transform, inverse quantization, motion compensation, etc. Operation, and finally write the raw code stream and encoding reconstructed frame (as the reference frame of the next frame) conforming to the H.264 protocol to the external memory; the video output unit reads the image from the external memory and passes the ITU-R BT The .601 / 656 interface is sent to VDAC for display. The application requirements are different. The image content read by the video output unit from the external storage is also different. When the input image needs to be previewed, the video output unit reads the original from the external storage. Image, when you need to observe the encoding effect of the video encoder, the video output unit reads the encoded reconstruction frame from the external memory; ARM encapsulates the code stream output from the video encoder by the protocol stack and sends it to the network port to achieve Video on demand service.

As shown in Figure 1, the chip is composed of the core of ARM + DSP + video codec accelerator + graphics engine scaler, integrated with rich peripheral interfaces, and internal integration includes such as digital watermarking, DES / 3DES algorithm, so that a single chip can adapt to basic All the work reduces the development difficulty of cooperating with other chips, and eliminates the need for manufacturers to repeatedly develop algorithms and other standard content, which greatly reduces the investment threshold of equipment manufacturers. With the development kits of different application forms of HiSilicon, various products such as PMP, videophone, network monitoring, PVR, and video intercom can be developed.

Implementation of Hi3510 codec scheme

As a codec chip for SoC architecture, Hi3510 fully considers compatibility and ease of use when designing. Support almost all series of AD / DA chips produced by the company. Hi3510 can work either as an independent encoder, as an independent decoder, or as a codec at the same time, fully considering the various applications in the codec market. Hi3510 is a typical multi-application single-chip solution, which greatly reduces the BOM composition and cost of the device. Figure 2 shows the application of chip simultaneous encoding and decoding.

Hi3510's own Linux operating system (supports Vxworks, WinCE and other open operating systems at the same time) and ARM processors, in addition to the codec function of the chip, can also realize the development of many rich application functions. As shown in Fig. 2, as long as an ordinary AD is added, the functions of digitization, compression, storage and transmission of composite video signals can be realized. The Hi3510 development kit provides an upper API interface, you can call to implement all chip functions, and can develop your own personalized functions. Figure 3 shows the application design of the chip's coding scheme.

The decoder application is the same as the encoder in the architectural design (convenient solution can maintain consistency, can realize a set of hardware to meet unsatisfactory requirements, only need software upgrade). The decoder only needs to be equipped with a DA chip (if the LCD digital screen can save this chip), it can realize the function of decoding the data stream, and realize the user-machine interactive menu operation through the GUI or OSD, to achieve PMP and other similar functions. Applications. Figure 4 shows the application design of the chip's decoding scheme.
