Theora Hardware

Currently Theora decoding is not provided by any hardware. The Elphel 333 can encode a theora stream though.

But, there is an accepted proposal to Google Summer Of Code 2006 that the goal is to do a Hardware Implementation of the Theora Decoding Algorithm.

The intent is to get a FPGA embeded system decoding Theora Streams in real-time.

The complete text of the project proposed is here:

• SOC - Theora Hardware Decoding

As soon as possible, there will be more specific information about the implementation, but to begin, there are two presentations that the author of the SOC proposal presented in his University:

• Theora Hardware Decoding
• Video Encoding: Basic Principles
