The BCM7411 is a dual-channel AVC/MPEG-2 decoder chip capable of full HD realtime decoding. Broadcom’s H.264 Compression Advantage™ architecture provides three times the compression power of MPEG-2. Systems incorporating the BCM7411 have superior image quality, improved system performance, and larger storage capacity with the reduced bit rates of H.264—also known as MPEG-4 Advanced Video Coding (AVC). The BCM7411 fully supports the MPEG-2 standard, so that compatibility with existing media can be maintained. The BCM7411 supports the following decoding operations: 1 HD (MPEG-2 or H.264) in real-time 2 SD streams (MPEG-2 or H.264) in real-time The H.264 Advantage The H.264 coding standard incorporates innovations and techniques developed over decades of worldwide research into video compression. The algorithm produces results far superior to the preceding MPEG standards. H.264 derives much of its performance gain from complex motion estimation techniques, integration of an in-loop deblocking filter, and brand-new spatial prediction operations. H.264 Support • • • • • • • • Complies with the ISO/IEC 14496-10 specification Decoder support for AVC High Profile streams up to level 4.1 with a 30 Mbps maximum encoded bit rate restriction I, B, and P slices CABAC and CAVLC entropy decoding Field/frame and picture adaptive decoding Macroblock adaptive field/frame decoding All intrablock and interblock sizes Resolutions supported: QCIF up to 1920 × 1088 MPEG-2 Support H.264 Inverse Transform Spatial Prediction Image Reconstruction 32-Bit RISC MPEG-2 VLC • • Motion Compensation MPEG-2 Inverse Transform H.264 Deblock Video Output Digital Video Output Transport/Program Stream Demultiplexer The BCM7411 accepts transport or program streams depending on the preferred application, and parses the incoming video, audio, and private data for decoding. The BCM7411 monitors PCR information in the transport stream to adjust the frequency of an external VCXO oscillator. Digital Video Output Ports The BCM7411 provides configurable digital video output ports for a glueless interface to the BCM7038 or to a variety of video DACs. The outputs may be configured for BT656 and HD-DVI. System Control/Status Interface The BCM7411 is intended for use as a peripheral system and requires a controlling agent to configure and monitor its operation. The following interfaces are supported: • • • PCI 32-bit interface Generic 16-bit host interface SPI serial and GPIO interfaces BCM7411 Specifications Parameter Value Unit/Description Logic supply 1.2 V SDRAM I/O supply 2.0 V I/O supply 3.3 V Maximum power dissipation 2.0 W Operating temperature 0 to 70 °C Storage temperature –30 to +125 °C Package type 336-pin Ball grid array Package size 27 × 27 mm Package Information The BCM7411 complies with the ISO/IEC 13818-2 specification and supports Main Profile up to high level at 125 Mbps.
