Chips&Media Inc. Completes Development Of Next-Gen AV2 HW Decoder IP

Chips&Media Inc. has completed the development of its hardware IP supporting AV2, the next-generation high-efficiency video codec from AOMedia (Alliance for Open Media). This development positions Chips&Media at the epicenter of the global video standards competition, adding the latest technology to its comprehensive lineup that covers all major video standards. AV2 is designed to provide an improvement in compression efficiency of approximately 20-30% or more compared to AV1.

This ensures robust performance and high fidelity in video processing. The newly developed AV2 decoder will be integrated into the ‘WAVE’ series, Chips&Media's multi-codec lineup. Furthermore, it will be offered in customizable configurations—supporting combinations with other standard codecs and specific performance targets such as 4K@240fps or 8K@60fps based on customer requirements. Major North American OTT giants, including YouTube (Google) and Netflix, are currently leading the expansion of the AV codec ecosystem to reduce data costs and enhance user experience. By proactively developing AV2 IP in line with these market trends, Chips&Media has secured strong justification in the next-generation video streaming device and SoC markets. Chips&Media continues to play an important role as a key contributor to the global video standard landscape. Chips&Media has been a vital partner for the device ecosystem for video standards from AOMedia and other open media projects, consistently providing rapid hardware IP support for standards like VP9, AV1, and now AV2. Commercialization and delivery schedule focused on the U.S. market. Regarding the delivery schedule, the HW RTL will be available in May. This ensures stable technical support aligned with the next-generation chip development schedules of customers.
