RK3328 4K Video Decoding and HDR Support

RK3328 multimedia processing supports 4K 60fps video decoding, HDR formats and HDMI 2.0 output for compatible commercial displays.

Up to 4K 60fps Video Decoding

The RK3328 platform supports hardware decoding for:

  • H.265 video up to 4K 60fps

  • H.264 video up to 4K 60fps

  • VP9 video up to 4K 60fps

  • Selected MPEG, VC-1 and VP8 content up to 1080p

Hardware decoding reduces the CPU workload required for media playback and helps the board run compatible high-resolution video more efficiently.

Actual playback performance also depends on:

  • Video codec

  • Video profile

  • Bit depth

  • Bitrate

  • Container format

  • Storage speed

  • Android media player

  • Firmware configuration

  • HDMI display

  • Operating temperature

Customers with demanding media files should provide sample videos for playback verification before mass production.

01

1080p Video Encoding

RK3328 supports H.264 and H.265 video encoding at up to 1080p.

Encoding may be relevant to projects involving:

  • USB camera recording

  • Basic video conferencing

  • Local video storage

  • Remote video transmission

  • Simple camera monitoring

Video encoding capability should not be confused with the processor’s higher 4K video decoding capability.

02

HDR10 and HLG

The RK3328 platform supports HDR10 and HLG high-dynamic-range formats, as well as conversion between SDR and HDR.

Final HDR performance depends on:

  • Source video

  • Android player

  • Firmware

  • HDMI cable

  • Display compatibility

  • Display settings

HDR support should therefore be verified with the actual display and media content used in the project.

03

HDMI 2.0 Output

The AD-B01 provides HDMI 2.0 output for connecting a compatible 4K monitor, television or commercial signage display.

A complete 4K 60Hz output solution requires:

  • A compatible 4K display

  • A suitable HDMI cable

  • Correct firmware configuration

  • Supported media content

  • Sufficient storage and network performance

If your project requires a complete enclosed playback device rather than a bare motherboard, review SUNCHIP’s 4K media player box.

04
