3 AM62A Video Processing Unit (VPU) Capability

The codec hardware IP block in AM62A supports both H.264 and H2.65 encoding/decoding capability. Table 3-1 illustrates some of the high-level specifications of the encoder/decoder block.

Table 3-1 Encoder/Decoder Specifications
Maximum Resolution 8192x 8192
Minimum Resolution 256x128
Clock Rate 400 MHz
Constraints Picture width and height are both multiples of 8
Concurrent Encode/Decode Streams Dependent on Resolution and Frame Rate
4 Encode + 4 Decode Streams of 1920x1080 @ 30fps
H.264 Encoding H.264 Baseline/Constrained Baseline/ Main/High Profiles Level @ L5.2
H.265 Encoding H.265 Main and Main Still Picture Profile @L5.1 High Tier
