ATI Avivo High Definition (ATI Avivo HD) is the successor of Array Technology Industry (ATI) Avivo, a hardware and low-level software that is used in ATI's Radeon R520 graphics processing units.
ATI Avivo architecture was originally designed to unburden a PC's central processing unit (CPU) by providing encoding, video decoding and post-processing capabilities. ATI Avivo HD also includes entropy decoding and bitstream processing features.
Avivo HD technology is a high-end HD image processor that has H.264 and MPEG-2/DVD Microsoft Windows Media HD video standards. It can be used with computer video structures, film entertainment centers and home theater systems.
Avivo HD entails several features that include:
The Avivo HD audio-video processor is responsible for retrieving the video from memory, handling color correction, de-interlacing images by converting an interlaced image to a progressive scan image, scaling video signals by resolution conversion and writing configurations or conversions back to memory.
In addition, the Avivo HD HDMI feature eliminates the need for S/PDIF digital audio interconnect from a sound card or motherboard to the video card.
