264, The Low Power A/V
Coprocessor for Mobile Devices
The Mobilygen MG1264 H.264 Coprocessor is designed
for low-power mobile devices, and dense-packed multi-
channel applications. MG1264 consumes 185mW while
encoding TV-quality 30fps H.264 video and high-fidelity
2-ch AAC audio. This breakthrough performance and low-
power consumption is the benefit of Mobilygen’s patented
EVE (Enabling Video Everywhere) architecture. The EVE
architecture combines hardware data-driven media engines for efficient media processing,
hardware-multithreading requiring zero overhead for control functions, and an ultra-efficient
memory controller optimized for advanced video processing.
MG1264 enables mobile products to easily incorporate TV-quality H.264 video recording and
playback into existing platforms through industry standard interfaces. Mobilygen provides
complete H.264 and AAC encoder/decoder firmware. MG1264 requires no customer
programming. Flexible APIs provide access to all control and codec parameters, and allow for
substantial product differentiation.
The H.264 video standard is gaining universal industry adoption, ranging from digital TV
broadcasting, to next generation consumer electronics and much more. H.264 advanced
features provides equivalent video quality at half the bit rate of MPEG-2.

Complete evaluation and
development platform
Comet is a self-contained complete
evaluation and development platform
for the Mobilygen MG1264 low-power
H.264/AAC codec. It includes a 200MHz
ARM920T Host CPU and Linux 2.6 OS
capable of running demanding real-
world applications. A complete software
development tool chain including compiler,
debugger, utilities, and libraries, is pre-
configured and source code provided.
Comet also provides a standard 50-pin
I/O expander header to enable system
prototype activities. All common MG1264
A/V and ARM general I/O signals are
available. Custom daughter cards can
be integrated easily using the 50-pin I/O
expander header to develop and test
complete system functionality.
