Overview
The MPEG-4 Part 2 Video codec offers several profiles for video coding: The “Simple Visual Profile“ (SP) features a very low computational complexity and is designed for applications requiring low bit rate and resolution. The “Advanced Simple Visual Profile“ (ASP) offers better video quality at higher resolutions and is more complex in terms of computational complexity.
The Fraunhofer IIS MPEG-4 Part 2 Video encoder and decoder fully support SP and ASP profiles at all levels as well as Core and ACE profiles for coding of arbitrarily shaped video objects.
Applications
MPEG-4 Part 2 Video offers video coding with reduced computational complexity (compared to MPEG-4 AVC) and is widely used in professional and consumer products such as 3G mobile phones and digital cameras.
Availability
