LSI Logic DiMeNsion™ 8600
DVD Recorder System Processor
OVERVIEW
The LSI Logic DiMeNsion ™ 8600 (DMN-8600) is the world’s first fully
integrated DVD recorder system processor. Based on LSI Logic’s DoMiNo™ architecture, the DiMeNsion family of products is intended for demanding, yet cost-sensitive,
single-stream A/V codec applications in consumer electronics products.
The DMN-8600 represents a true system-on-a-chip solution, reducing cost,
design complexity, power consumption, and time-to-market through its high level of
system integration and its use of LSI Logic’s C-Ware™ software environment. The
DMN-8600 supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and DV-25 encoding, decoding, transrating
and transcoding. The DMN-8600 also supports DVD playback, recording, and simultaneous encoding and playback of DVD streams to optical disc, enabling digital video
recording (DVR)/timeshifting applications to be developed on DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,
DVD+RW, and other recording drives. The DMN-8600 represents a quantum leap in
performance, allowing multiple A/V streams to execute simultaneously.
With its embedded, dual 32-bit RISC-based host processors with dedicated
DSP units, the DMN-8600 delivers up to 600 MIPS of processing power. This allows
the DMN-8600 to simultaneously handle multiple A/V processing functions while
managing all system control tasks, eliminating the need for an external host CPU. The
DMN-8600 also integrates a dedicated video processor and motion estimation engine
that enables advanced image processing tasks. LSI Logic’s proprietary TrueScan Pro™
de-interlacing and TrueView Pro™ input video filtering algorithms leverage these
processing elements to deliver the highest quality images available in the market.
The DMN-8600 also performs all audio processing tasks, supporting industry standard audio encoding and decoding formats, as well as audio post-processing tasks
such as 3D audio effects and bass management functions.
TARGET APPLICATIONS
• Low cost DVD recorders
• Digital video recorders (DVRs)
• Home media servers
The DMN-8600 is compatible with LSI Logic’s C-Ware architecture,which
provides hardware abstraction and an object-oriented programming environment that
is reusable across LSI Logic DoMiNo- and ZiVA™-based consumer digital video products. C-Ware is implemented in standard ANSI C/C++, provides certified software
library components and standardized API. C-Ware is compatible with WindRiver
Systems ® VxWorks RTOS and is compatible with commercially available software
development tools.

DEVICE FEATURES:
The highly integrated DMN-8600
features the following:
With the highest level of integration, broadest feature set, best image
quality, and configurable software development environment, the LSI Logic
DMN-8600 brings unprecedented features to DVD recorder applications.
It also optimizes time-to-market and system cost performance for consumer
electronics manufacturers.
• Dual 150 MIPS RISC architecture
with integrated audio DSPs, I-cache
CAPABILITIES
and memory, host functions
The DMN-8600 delivers four times the processing performance of
previous generation video codecs. The DMN-8600 has been optimized for
performance-critical functions at the bit- and pixel-operations level with
firmware that has been optimized for performance and scalability. This
balance delivers the flexibility needed to cut time-to-market and lower development cost.
• 2D graphics engine with DVD subpicture decode and 32-bit RGBA
• Flexible video and motion estimation
processors
• High-performance memory controller
with a 32-bit data bus for support of
8-64 MB of external
SDR/DDR/SDRAM
• IEEE1394 link layer
(with 5C copy protection)
• MPEG-2 MP@ML codec
• DV-25 codec
• TrueView Pro

• Real-time VBR encoding
• External generic host bus interface
The DMN-8600 is capable of a high degree of concurrency. Examples
of this are simultaneous encoding and decoding in MPEG-2 MP@ML format,
simultaneous decoding to MPEG-2 MP@ML and transcoding to DV-25, multiangle view decoding, DV-25 to MPEG-2 with zero delay preview, CD-DA to
MP3 transcoding, as well as IEEE1394 transport stream muxing and demuxing.
SYSTEM DESIGN
The DMN-8600’s high level of integration drastically reduces system
component count, and consequently system cost. Figure 2 shows a block
diagram of an advanced DVD recorder based on DMN-8600.
The DMN-8600 has an on-chip ATAPI controller that supports readonly DVD ROM drives, rewriteable DVD drives (DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, or
DVD+RW), or IDE compatible hard disk drives. The DMN-8600 is able to
record a single input from a TV tuner, a standard analog input, the IEEE1394
link, or the ATAPI interface, in MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or DV-25 format. Similarly, it
is capable of decoding all standard DVD/VCD/SVCD/MP3 formats (including
DVD-Audio) and sending the result to the video and audio output.
The built-in support for progressive video (54 MHz) enables 480P
video output. A DV-25 camcorder may be hooked up to the IEEE1394 port for
transcoding to MPEG-2 format.

The video DSP coprocessor performs vector memoryto-memory instructions. This improves code density and
off-loads the SPARC processors. Its 64 Kbyte data memory
is double-buffered (two banks) to allow concurrent DMA
and DSP operations. Some of the functions that the DSP
coprocessor performs include: de-telecine, activity measures,
motion compensation, adaptive temporal and de-interlace
filtering, linear filtering/decimation, DCT/IDCT (up to 12
bits), quantization/dequantization, and variable length
encoding/decoding. The video DSP coprocessor operates
at approximately 16 BOPS.

INTERNAL ARCHITECTURE DETAILS
The DMN-8600 can accomplish very compute-intensive signal processing tasks because it integrates multiple
high-performance processing modules on a single chip.
RISC Engine
Two 32-bit SPARC processors perform all of the
following functions: system processing, audio processing,
and high-level flow control and and decision-making tasks
for video processing, and 2D graphics processing.
Video DSP
As a highly integrated processor engine, the
DMN-8600 is designed to implement motion-compensated,
block-DCT-based video compression algorithms. To this end,
the DMN-8600 includes a video DSP and motion estimation
(ME) coprocessor that off-loads compute-intensive tasks from
the SPARC processors.
Motion Estimation Coprocessor
The programmable ME coprocessor has a throughput
of 29 billion arithmetic operations per second (BOPS). It takes
the ME commands from the SPARC processor and generates
results for each target.
Audio Processing
The audio processing hardware is physically integrated into each SPARC processor. The hardware consists of
two parallel 64-bit MAC units with 32-bit precision, and a
DSP instruction set to support efficient encoding and decoding of a wide variety of audio algorithms, including MPEG-1
TM
Layer 2, DTS, MP3, Dolby Digital , AAC, MLP, and WMA.
In addition, audio special effects such as 3D audio, Dolby
ProLogic ™, echo, harmonizing, bass management, FIR and IIR
filters are supported. Each SPARC processor can execute two
instructions in parallel, a MAC operation (DSP instruction)
and a regular SPARC processor instruction.
Programmability
The DMN-8600 is compatible with LSI Logic’s
proprietary C-Ware SW develoment environment.
C-Ware is an object oriented software architecture that
abstracts the underlying hardware. This promotes portability
and application re-usability within and across LSI Logic’s
product families. Figure 4 shows the basic C-Ware architecture and how it supports cross-product compatibility.
