Dual Digital Broadcast MPEG-2 Standard
Definition TV Decoder with PVR Support
CX2416x
Conexant’s portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of semiconductor solutions
for broadband communications and the digital home. Conexant’s dual
MPEG-2 Standard Definition Television (SDTV) decoder IC features all the
major subsystems required to implement the core system and decoder
electronics of dual-TV digital set-top box (STB) for satellite, cable, or terrestrial
TV networks.
The CX2416x family offers dual MPEG-2 MP@ML video decoders, 32-bit RISC
CPU, 2D graphics accelerator, dual video graphics display controllers, dual TV
encoders, and a set of peripheral I/O ports for STB front and back panel
connectors. The multi-format audio decoder supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and
Dolby® Digital (AC-3). Certain members of the device family also feature an
integrated NTSC channel 3/4 RF modulator and BTSC stereo encoder for
distribution of composite video and full MTS stereo sound to a remote room
in the house.
Personal video recorder (PVR) functionality is supported by three dual-stream
