FIR Filter Design - Space Exploration with the Synplify DSP Design Tool - by Shiv Balakrishnan, DSP Technical Marketing Engineer, Synplicity

Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters are basic DSP building blocks that have been studied and analyzed thoroughly over the past few decades. One might be tempted to assume that the design of FIR filters can be handled with a ‘cookbook’ approach. In other words, a user might just have to specify a few high.

While a few situations lend themselves to the scenario above, there are many situations where it is necessary to explore a range of options in the overall design-space. Some of the factors that make this task complicated and time-consuming are related to fixed point quantization with variations in arithmetic and coefficient word length and the impact this has on product performance.

An Overview of H.264 Advanced Video Coding - by Iain Richardson, Vcodex

H.264 is an industry standard for video compression, the process of converting digital video into a format that takes up less capacity when it is stored or transmitted. Video compression (or video coding) is an essential technology for applications such as digital television, DVD-Video, mobile TV, videoconferencing and internet video streaming. Standardising video compression makes it possible for products from different manufacturers (e.g. encoders, decoders and storage media) to inter-operate. An encoder converts video into a compressed format and a decoder converts compressed video back into an uncompressed format.   more>>
