Overview
Vaddis® 888 is an advanced DVD multimedia processor with an integrated
state-of-the-art 8 channel Class D modulator which enables a new
generation of DVD players featuring universal audio (DVD-A and SACD2.0).
The Vaddis 8 processor enables HDTV connectivity via HDMI and analog
component HD-video with six 14-bit 165Mhz video DACs. It also offers
SD-to-HD upconversion enabling HD content from standard DVD discs. The
HD-JPEG feature enables display of high definition JPEG images.
Vaddis 888 supports DivX, XviD, MPEG-4, and Nero playback. It is the
newest member of the Vaddis product line with a unified shared memory
architecture controlled by a single internal CPU allowing Zoran customers to
leverage current software and system development to deliver new features
and products.
Vaddis 888 de-blocking and de-ringing maximizes video quality by reducing
artifacts in low bit rate streams. Audio post processing includes bass
management and 3D effects. These integrated video and audio post
processing features enhance the total entertainment experience.
This processor enables new system features such as direct FLASH
card interface, USB2.0 HS and enables Ethernet connectivity with
the MaestroLink chip. This flexibility makes Vaddis 888 ideal for
combo, standalone and portable DVD players.
Universal Audio Player
Vaddis 888 supports DVD-Audio including decryption, decoding, and audio
post processing functions. This processor performs CPPM decryption,
Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP), LPCM decoding, and bass management.
The full fidelity offered by DVD-Audio is available with the use of 192kHz/24-
bit audio DACs. Vaddis 888 supports the new SACD2.0 including playback of
HD-JPEG content, and is backward compatible with SACD1.3 or lower.
HDMI
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an emerging display standard
enabling a fully digital high definition video and audio connection from the
DVD player to an HDTV.
DivX and MPEG4 Support
Vaddis 888 utilizes hardware accelerators for maximum MPEG4
performance, playing streams of up to 10 Mbits per second at full D1
resolution and 720x480 @ 30 frames per second. With support for Quarter
PEL (QPEL) and Global Motion Compensation (GMC), it provides full
compatibility with high-resolution streams.
FLASH Card and USB Applications
A direct interface from Vaddis 888 supports Secure Digital (SD), Memory
Stick (MS), Memory Stick Pro (MSPro), Compact Flash (CF), and XD
eliminating the need for an external interface IC and reducing system costs.
Vaddis 888 supports playback of JPEG, MP3, WMA, and MPEG-1/2/4 files
from Flash card or from USB-on-a-key. It also enables a direct interface to
digital cameras offering playback of still images or video on TV.
Single Pixel Processing (SPP) Progressive Scan
Zoran’s proprietary progressive scan technology enables exceptional
video quality for viewing on a progressive scan television. SPP enables
pixel-by-pixel processing of the video, while the Vaddis 888 applies high
quality deinterlacing to all areas of the scene, including areas with limited
or fast motion. In addition to four 10-bit 54 MHz DAC outputs, the Vaddis 888
supports progressive digital video output.
Enhanced Audio Capability
Vaddis 888 incorporates a 135 MHz 32-bit audio processor enabling
post-processing audio applications. It is capable of supporting Dolby
Digital and Dolby Digital EX, ProLogic I/II, DTS and DTS-ES, MPEG Layer
II, multichannel LPCM, CD-DA, MP3 and Microsoft Windows Media Audio
(WMA) standards, with up to 8+2 audio channels. Audio post-processing
algorithms from Zoran’s SiliconSoftware® library can be applied to enhance
the listening experience. These algorithms include Virtual Surround Sound,
3D Headphones, Graphic Equalization, Karaoke and Music Modes. Virtual
Surround Sound gives the listener a multichannel effect with only two
speakers.
S/PDIF Receiver
The integrated S/PDIF receiver makes Vaddis 888 optimal for
DVD-Receiver applications. The S/PDIF audio signal from a set top
box or other source can be decoded (e.g. Dolby Digital or Dolby
ProLogic II) using the embedded audio processor.
