Abstract

This paper deals with aspects of video processing for DVB decoder chips. The proposed architectures are implemented in a new DVB decoder IC. This IC comprises all units required for DVB decoding such as system demux, and MPEG video and audio decoder. To connect external devices it offers an ATAPI bridge, an IEEE1394 interface, and other interfaces. Conventional analog video is supported by an integrated color decoder and text slicer. The analog inputs and outputs allow easy integration in hybrid set-top box applications and integrated digital TV (IDTV) chassis. The first silicon is available
