VideoCore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

VideoCore is a low-power mobile multimedia processor architecture originally developed by Alphamosaic Ltd, now owned by Broadcom. Its two-dimensional DSP architecture makes it flexible and efficient enough to decode as well as encode a number of multimedia codecs in software, while maintaining low power usage.[1]

The VideoCore II-based BCM2722 processor notably provides video capabilities for Apple's 5th generation iPod.[2]
