Description
Zoran's SupraHD-660 ATSC/NTSC reference design is a complete
hardware and software solution for building an integrated Digital
Television (DTV) targeted at the United States market. The reference
hardware module can either be used in LCD-based or CRT-based
DTVs. The reference TV application software complies with the ATSC
broadcast standards.
The reference design is a full-featured system that allows tuning,
decoding, and display of analog (NTSC) and digital (ATSC) terrestrial
broadcast.The SupraHD-660 DTV System IC decodes standard-
definition and high-definition content. This IC is highly integrated,
consisting of a MPEG-2 HD decoder, NTSC video decoder, HDMI
interface, IEEE-1394 interface, high-performance CPU, powerful
graphics engine, video scalar, video enhancement, LVDS driver and
other peripherals necessary for building an integrated DTV. The
reference hardware module accepts composite (CVBS), S-video
(Y/C), and component (YPbPr) inputs, and more advanced interfaces,
such as HDMI from newer DVD players and IEEE-1394 from digital
video recorders. It also accepts VGA input from a personal computer.
The reference hardware module output interfaces can directly drive
an LCD panel or a CRT TV. Other outputs include L/R audio for its
internal speakers and SPDIF for multi-channel output to an external
audio receiver.
The reference TV application supports the basic functionalities
required for a DTV, such as an ATSC/NTSC software stack,
Electronic Program Guide (EPG), closed-caption decoding, parental
control, basic audio control (i.e. bass, treble, balance), and basic
video control (i.e. contrast, brightness, color). For ease of connectivity
to external devices, such as digital video recorders, the IEEE-1394
software stack is also bundled with the software package.
