# NDK

For integration in TVs and STBs, V-Nova has created the LCEVC NDK (Native Development Kit) aimed at supporting the development of on-chip capabilities for decoding of MPEG-5 LCEVC.

Deploying LCEVC on the chipset using the V-Nova LCEVC NDK guarantees:

* improved content security
* increased decoding performance
* reduced power consumption

V-Nova LCEVC NDK is a collection of tools to support Video SOC vendors and ASIC designers in accelerating the availability of LCEVC on their roadmap. The toolkit includes optimised libraries that can be used at driver level as well as fully functional and compliant ASIC IP blocks. These blocks are made available as RTL source code ready for synthesis, test vectors and the relevant documentation. Furthermore, our Integration Services resources are at hand to customise the NDK for a given chipset architecture or application.
