Product Brief
ESS Technology, Inc.
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The ES6168A VibrattoS DVD processor is a super high-
performance single-chip MPEG video decoding solution
that provides not only DVD decoding, but also MPEG-4
support, allowing users to view video clips (from the
Internet, a camcorder, or other source) on DVD players.
• Single-chip DVD processor.
• MPEG-4 Advanced Simple Profile* at full screen (D1).
• Integrated NTSC/PAL encoder with pixel-adaptive
de-interlacer and five 10-bit 54 MHz video DACs.
• High-quality progressive scan video output for flicker-free
The ES6168A integrates a state-of-the-art progressive-
scan video feature to provide brilliant and sharp, flicker-
free output to the video display, built-in CPRM, and S/PDIF
input and output support. The ES6168A performs
audio/video stream data processing, TV encoding,
Macrovision copy protection, DVD system navigation,
system control, and housekeeping functions.
video display.
• DVD-Video, DVD-VR, VCD 1.1 and 2.0, and SVCD.
• Full DVD-Audio support including MLP and LPCM
decode, CPPM decryption, and watermark detection.
• Media playback with CD-ROM, CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW,
DVD+R/RW, and DVD-RAM.
The Vibratto-S DVD processor is built on the ESS
proprietary dual CPU Programmable Multimedia
Processor (PMP) core consisting of 32-bit RISC and 64-bit
DSP processors and offers the best DVD feature set. The
processing units enable simultaneous parallel execution of
system commands and data processing to perform
specialized encoding and decoding tasks.
• Up to 7.1 channel audio outputs.
• Interface for IDE devices, A/V DVD loaders.
• Interface for CF, MS, SD, MMC, and SM memory cards.
• Direct interface of 8-/16-bit DRAM up to 128-Mb capacity.
• Direct interface for up to 4 banks of 8-/16-bit EPROM or
Flash EPROM for up to 4-MB for each bank.
• Macrovision 7.1 for NTSC/PAL interlaced video.
The RISC processor performs bit stream parsing, control
audio data output, transfer video and audio data to the
vector engine and service system control and
housekeeping functions. The vector engine performs
audio and video micro-code processing required by A/V
standards, such as Dolby Digital, MPEG and JPEG
imaging. These processing tasks include video motion
compensation and estimation, loop filtering, Discrete
Cosine Transforms (DCT), inverse DCT, quantization, and
inverse quantization.
• Macrovision NTSC/PAL (480p/576p) progressive scan
video.
• Simultaneous composite, S-video, and YUV outputs.
• CCIR 656/601 YUV 4:2:2 input and output.
• On-Screen Display controller supports 256 colors in 8
degrees of transparency.
• Subpicture Unit (SPU) decoder supports karaoke lyric,
subtitles, and EIA-608 compliant Line 21 Captioning.
• SmartLogo for custom JPEG wallpaper.
The Vibratto-S DVD processor supports both parallel and
serial DVD loader interfaces, industry standard I2S audio
data input and output, EPROM and DRAM access, and
audio/video data buffering. It also supports both letterbox
and pan-and-scan displays, sub-picture overlay, and On-
Screen Display (OSD). In addition, the Vibratto-S DVD
solution plays Karaoke, CD+G, DVD-Audio, HDCD, CD-
DA, MP3, and WMA.

• S/PDIF digital audio input and output.
The ES6168A DVD processor is available in a 208-pin
Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) device package.
• MPEG AAC and Multichannel.
• SRS TruSurround and TruSurround XT.
• Windows™ Media Audio decoding.
• Professional karaoke with full scoring scheme.
