September 2006 — Present (3 years 4 months)
Projects done by me:
1. MPEG-4/3GP parser and writer module for a CE OEM
-> Internal IP development project licensed to a CE OEM. Almost all the audio and video coding formats were supported for parsign as well as packing data.
2. H.264 HP D1 and 720P decoder on video accelerator SoC at Texas Instruments India for wireless OEM
-> 20 months project with clear focus on developing highly optimized and fully complaint decoder with robust error concelament and error recover techniques. Had partial set of tools supported.
3. H.264 HP transcoding module on multi-core video accelerator SoC for CE OEM at Texas Instruments India Banaglore.
-> Ongoing project which involved highly synchronised firing and usage of data between mutliple video accelerators on a VLIW based SoC. Used a full featured HP H.264 1080p decoder with limited encodign tool set for predefined transcoding parameters.
