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.

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 TM temporal filtering for pre-encode noise filtering • TrueScan Pro TM de-interlacing for progressive display output • 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. • Serial I/O interface controller for RF Tuner S/PDIF Controller infrared port, general-purpose serial I/O, modem, etc. • Storage device interface controller Video In Audio In Audio DACs NTSC/PAL Decoder Audio ADC IEC958 Audio Out VDENC Video Out 1394 PHY IEEE1394 for IDE/ATAPI devices or non-ATAPI devices (low-cost optical loaders) ROM/Flash Record Drive SDRAM VFD with Front Panel Controller Figure 2: DMN™-8600 DVD Recorder System Design Based on DMN™-8600 Video DSP Coprocessor YUV video inputs YUV video output 4-channel audio_in 8-channel audio_out 16/32-bit generic host DVD - RX IEEE1394 PHY Dual UARTs IR Rx/TX SPI IDC Audio / Video IF Motion Estimation RISC CPU & Audio DSP Video DSP RISC CPU & Audio DSP 29 BOPS 150 MIPS 16 BOPS 150 MIPS TMEM I Cache (16 KB) Generic Host Storage IF 1394 Link IF SIO SDRAM Controller I Cache (16 KB) DMEM (16 KB) WMEM AMEM RMEM 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. 32-bit Bus 8 MB - 64 MB SDR/DDR SDRAM Figure 3: DMN™-8600 Architecture 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.
