LSI Logic DiMeNsion 8602
™
DVD Recorder System Processor
OVERVIEW
The LSI Logic DiMeNsion-2 second-generation family of DVD recorder proces-
sor products is based on the proven DoMiNo™ architecture. The DiMeNsion-2 family is
intended for demanding, yet cost-sensitive, A/V codec applications that allow consumer
electronics manufacturers to offer a broad range of DVD recorder and other consumer
electronics products. A true system-on-a-chip solution, the DiMeNsion 8602 (DMN-8602)
reduces cost, design complexity, power consumption and time-to-market, and offers broad-
est feature set with the best image quality.
The DMN-8602 accepts video from broadcast TV and other analog video
sources and compresses and formats the video for storage on DVD in industry-standard
recordable formats. The DMN-8602 supports the simultaneous playback of previously
recorded video from DVD, which may be from the same broadcast program, time-shifted.
To support archiving digital camcorder content to a DVD, DMN-8602 integrates a second
generation DV codec. The LSI Logic Direct Digital Dub™ technology simplifies the trans-
fer of personal digital content from a cam-corder to DVD over FireWire, with one-touch
control via a single remote.
The DMN-8602 offers DoMiNoFX™ technologies – industry-leading pre- and
post-processing of video – to create a visibly superior viewing experience. LSI Logic’s
proprietary motion-compensated temporal filtering (MCTF) algorithm, TrueView™ Pro,
provides a cleaner picture through substantial noise reduction. This technique is coupled
with the LSI Logic fifth-generation compression technology, PerfectView® Pro for excellent
video quality, even at very low bit rates. The motion-compensated de-interlacing (MCDI)
TrueScan™ Pro then recreates clear images on progressive scan displays through the
elimination of video blurring in moving scenes.
