C2 Microsystems is creating the next generation of media processing electronics products through the development of an innovative media processor architecture, complemented by a rich software development environment and delivered through highly integrated silicon devices.
Media Processor
C2's unique approach to media processing involves a hybrid software / hardware implementation of all major audio and video codecs within a framework that allows programmers total control of the media application. The C2 media processor architecture supports the encoding and decoding of content using all major audio and video codecs (including VC1, H.264, Mpeg2, Mpeg4) in resolutions up to high definition. The software implementation gives application developers unprecedented control over codec behavior (e.g. dynamic rate control, sophisticated image processing, etc.).
Software Development Kit
The Linux Software Development Kit is a Linux-based software package that is optimized for the development of networked digital home and portable entertainment products. Developers using the SDK can take full advantage of the wide variety of projects being developed within the open source community.
