According to TIVR, benchmarking results show that real-time decoding of 15 frames/second QVGA (320x240) "simple profile" video streams coded at 192 kbps requires just "37 MHz of ARM9 CPU load (on an average)."
The VC-1 decoder is written in ANSI-C, making it easily portable to a wide variety of RISC processors such as ARM, MIPS, ARC, and OpenRISC as well as DSPs from TI, ADI, ZSP, CEVA, TIVR says.
In addition to the VC-1 decoder, Bangelore-based TIVR offers a range of embeddable video and audio software codecs implementing H.263, H.264, MPEG-4, and DVB-H protocols.
