Ambarella announced a video CODEC chip targeting the broadcast market. The Ambacast 3000 processor more than doubles the computing power of its predecessors and can be programmed for increased video quality as well as encoding full 1080x1920 resolution HD at 60 frames per second in a single chip. The processor can accept uncompressed video at rates exceeding 3Gbits per second and can produce compliant H.264 Main and high-profile streams at bit rates as low as 4 Mbps for 720p 60 and 1080i 60 and as low as 6Mbps for 1080p60. The Ambacast 3000 can also function as a decoder. The Ambarella Ambacast 3000 broadcast infrastructure product is currently sampling at selected customers.
