The
BCM7031
Advanced High Definition, Video/Graphics Subsystem
supports the requirements of television and set-top box systems that
require high definition or standard definition decoding of MPEG-2
streams with simultaneous high definition and standard definition
outputs. For systems that require only standard definition output, a
reduced-memory mode substantially reduces the amount of memory
needed for the video decompression process. The video decoder also
supports multiple stream standard definition decoding, providing both
tiled video and PIP capability.
The
BCM7031
graphics are based on Broadcom’s advanced
video/graphics technology that allows studio-quality text and graphics
to be displayed on television-based systems. The graphics compositing
engine allows for many windows of graphics and video to be layered
with blending and anti-aliasing, creating rich, high-quality, display
capability.
An onboard vector RISC processor provides 2D graphics, anti-aliased
text, and 3D effects.
A MPEG-2 DVB/DC2-compliant transport demux with 3 transport
stream inputs has advanced section filtering capability, DVB
descrambler, DES descrambler with ECB/CCB capability, and 2
ISO7816 smart card interfaces. The DES descrambler complies with the
DVS 213 requirements for the transport stream POD interface.
The transport engine is designed to support personal video recording
(PVR) functions, allowing the set-top box to support VCR-like
functions, such as fast forward/reverse, pause, and record. The
BCM7031
supports up to 2 record and 2 playback streams
simultaneously, with optional 3DES encryption/decryption.
The
BCM7031
decodes both Dolby Digital (AC-3) and MPEG
multichannel compressed streams. Audio output is provided over stereo
DACs or SPDIF.
A PCM audio engine mixes separate audio streams generated from the
MPEG2/Dolby audio decompression circuitry, PCM audio generated
from the CPU, or PCM audio input via a baseband audio input. These
streams can be resampled and mixed together with volume control.
The
BCM7031
is an ideal solution where maximum system design
flexibility and performance is key. Its bi-endian architecture and full DMA
capability work with any CPU and PCI system configuration.
DVD playback is realizable. The on-chip MPEG video decoder has the
ability to parse the PES streams extracted from the program streams found
on DVDs. AC-3 audio can be decoded to either stereo or Dolby ProLogic
and output to either the on-chip DAC and/or as PCM to the SPDIF interface.
The audio engine can also output native AC-3 or DTS bit streams directly
to the SPDIF. Sub-picture decoding and rendering are handled by the host
CPU and the on-chip graphics processor. With the assistance of software
running on an external CPU, a complete DVD playback system can be
realized.
