ARC Codec Libraries

Enable Long-Term, Strategic Development and Planning of Multimedia SoCs

As SoC designers look to enable capture, share and playback of high quality digital media on any device, they need to plan support for current and future audio/video formats. ARC’s codec libraries address this ever growing requirement for codecs. SoC designers have access to current and future codecs required for their application for an annual all-you-can-use subscription price. This simplifies long-term strategic planning of chip companies, allowing them to better meet the changing requirements of evolving consumer electronics (CE) devices.
