Conexant’s portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of semiconductor
solutions for communications and consumer applications.
High Quality Audio and Video Decoders for Surveillance Applications
The CX25858 8-Channel Audio/Video Decoder with Integrated PCIe Interface
was designed for surveillance applications. The CX25858 contains eight high
quality NTSC/PAL video decoders with 10-bit A/Ds and 5-line comb filtering,
to generate the highest quality digital video output with the lowest possible
noise. This creates not only the best image quality for viewing, but enables
lower bitrates for compression devices using the output of the CX25858.
The video decoders within the CX25858 are optimized to lock to inputs with
low signal levels as well as line-locked cameras, both of which are common
in surveillance systems. Each video decoder may be scaled independently and
the CX25858 supports BT.656 as well as a variety of other interleaved digital
video output formats.
The CX25858 also contains eight high-quality mono audio A/Ds with I2S
outputs.
PCIe Bridging
The CX25858 contains a PCIe 1.1 compliant x1 interface. It is ideal for
”capture card” applications in systems where eight channels of high-quality,
uncompressed video must be digitized and transmitted via PCIe for viewing,
compression, and/or analytics. The CX25858 can downscale digital video from
4:2:2 format to 4:1:1, reducing bandwidth requirements from 16 bits per pixel
to 12.
Additionally, the CX25858 supports the bridging of up to four channels of
digital video and audio from PCIe, and can output these streams over pins in
BT.656 or I2S-style interfaces, respectively.
Direct-Connection to Multi-Channel H.264 CODECs
The CX25858 supports byte, line, or frame-interleaved digital video outputs at
27, 54, or 108 MHz. Byte and line interleaved outputs are supported entirely
within the CX25858. Frame-interleaved outputs require that the CX25858
interface with external DDR2 memory. The CX25858 supports I2S and
multiplexed I2S audio outputs.
The CX25858 contains an interface for Maxim H.264 CODECs that permit the
CX25858 to bridge compressed data from Maxim devices to the PCIe bus.
This simplifies the Bill of Materials (BOM) and reduces costs in PCIe systems.
