With an innovative, programmable architecture, Quartics’ Qvu™ video processing solutions provide the most advanced, flexible high-performance video encoding solution available for PCs, HDTVs, set-top boxes and other consumer electronics. A flexible, fully-programmable platform allows Quartics’ VPUs to provide the capability of encoding a decoded video stream or a raw video stream into any existing or future DCT-based video codec format. Qvu™ technology allows Quartics to provide a single video processing solution with the capability of high-performance encode of SD or HD video to any video codec format or to multiple video codec formats. In addition, Qvu™ technology’s flexibility allows Quartics’ VPUs to adapt to changing coding standards by upgrading encoding capabilities to future video codec standards as they become available. Quartics’ VPUs can also be customized to encode proprietary video codecs. Qvu™-enabled video processors provide manufacturers with the only fully-flexible, high-performance video processing solutions with the capability for unlimited, and universal, SD and HD video encode functionality.

In addition to efficient, seamless encode to any video codec standard or proprietary format, Qvu™ technology allows Quartics’ video processors to greatly enhance and improve video image quality using Quartics’ Super Resolution advanced image enhancement and upscale techniques. With advanced post-processing techniques, Super Resolution remarkably improves image quality on encoded SD or HD video stream during playback or while encoding, delivering sharper, more-detailed images with more vivid color and markedly improved brightness, contrast and dynamic range. For all the details about Quartics’ state-of-the-art Super Resolution video image enhancement capabilities, please see our Super Resolution page under the Applications section.

Qvu™-enabled VPUs not only provide high-performance universal encode and advanced image enhancement techniques, but also the ability to upscale standard video to HD on-the-fly. This combination of adaptable, high-performance universal encode, state-of-art image enhancement techniques and on-the-fly upscale of standard video to HD makes Quartics stand out as the provider of the most advanced video processing solutions for high-performance consumer encode applications, such as live streaming, high-quality HD video chat.
