Chips and Media Video Codec IP Enters Mass Production With Mobilint Next-Generation Chips: A Single Core Delivers 8K at 60 Frames Per Second as Robot Cameras Handle 8 to 20 Channels, Announced November 13
Chips&Media, a Seoul-based video intellectual property company, announced through GlobeNewswire on November 13, 2026 that its high-performance video codec IP has entered mass production as part of edge AI semiconductor company Mobilint's next-generation chips, taking the partnership into the physical AI and robotics market, including humanoids. Chips&Media said Mobilint licensed its H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC and AV1 codecs several years ago and recently added AV2 and H.266/VVC licenses. Mobilint's flagship AI semiconductor, Regulus, was previously deployed on South Korea's Naro space launch vehicle and validated its performance in outer space. The release sets out three selection criteria: high throughput, low latency, and safety and stability. Chips for robots must typically process 8 to 20 multi-channel cameras at the same time, and Chips&Media's video processing unit delivers 8K at 60 frames per second with a single core, handling multi-stream encoding without latency. For the automotive-grade functional safety required by future industrial and home humanoids, the company's ISO 26262 ASIL-B certification was the decisive selection factor. Mobilint chief executive Dong-joo Shin said in the release that presenting a solution optimized for the robotics and physical AI market through the combination of Mobilint's AI semiconductor technology and Chips&Media's proven high-performance video IP is meaningful, and that the company aims to deliver differentiated value to customers in the next-generation robotics market, including humanoids. Chips&Media chief executive Sang-hyun Kim said in the release that the long-standing partnership has led to actual chip mass production and entry into the robotics market, and that the company will lead the physical AI era together with Mobilint. The two companies also plan to expand cooperation beyond video codecs to frame buffer compression IP and data compression IP. Company information in the release says Chips&Media has focused on hardware video codec IP since 2003, its IP has powered more than 3 billion units and been adopted by more than 150 semiconductor companies, and it supports major and legacy formats from 1080p up to 8K at 120 frames per second. Mobilint, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Seoul, is a fabless AI semiconductor company specializing in high-performance, energy-efficient NPUs and AI SoCs.
