Generation9®-Elite
Driving the Digital Lifestyle
Integrated DTV System On a Chip
Product Brief
Access to World Markets
• A Global System Architecture provides a programmable system
that supports multiple international standards including European
DVB, US ATSC, US Cable CableCARD, the Japanese ARIB
standard, and proprietary standards such as NDS ICAM.
• Generation9-Elite ICs incorporate AES encryption/decryption
to/from the HDD or any other system I/O interface to protect any
digital content.
Facilitates Modular and Expandable Systems
• Due to the flexible architecture and worldwide conditional access
capabilities, a single hardware design can be retargeted at
multiple world markets.
• A core design built around this architecture provides access to
enhanced features such as PVR, additional broadcast reception
types, PIP, POP and Dual Display STBs (e.g. sharing a single
PVR HDD). OEMs can build a simple A/V system for time-to-mar-
ket and enhance it quickly with additional market enabling
features.
Flexible Integration
• Dual MIPS 32-Bit CPUs provide industry leading levels of both
system and application support
• Cost-effective integration is achieved through the use of multiple
optimized micro-controllers as well as an advanced proprietary
floating point DSP and an industry standard CPU
• The Texture Processor Engine (TEX/Warp) provides TV centric
graphics effects and ARIB acceleration not available to other
architectures. Implement 3D TV effects without the cost of a 3D
graphics engine as both graphics and video can be treated as
user interface objects
• A Media DSP for real-time media processing separate from the
Application CPU, rendering it Ideal for audio and enabled for
Streaming Media
• The specialized Video Signal Processor (VSP) enables user
defined features including motion adaptive de-interlacing
algorithms, reverse 3:2 pulldown techniques, and film mode
detection. Custom algorithms can be running in significantly less
time than it would take to implement in hardware
• The Flexi-Port Multi-Channel I/O function meets the requirements
of the most demanding DTV, PVR and STB architectures by
providing true Orthogonality with different input and output
formats including; Serial or Parallel TS, Multi BT.656 and DVI In or
Out.
