LSI Logic DoMiNo™ Network Media Processor OVERVIEW The LSI Logic DoMiNo ™ network media processor is the industry’s first programmable, single-chip, multi-stream, multi-format, MPEG audio/video/system codec (encoder/decoder) architecture. This powerful and flexible architecture has been designed to trigger — very much like the domino effect — an endless variety of digital audio/visual (A/V) products for the consumer, prosumer and professional markets. The LSI Logic DoMiNo architecture brings distributed video and digital entertainment to the networked home in the Internet Age. To deliver the industry’s best quality HD and SD TV images, LSI Logic DoMiNo uses LSI Logic’s award-winning PerfectView® MPEG-2 encoding algorithm in combination with its advanced motion compensated noise filtering for superior source LSI Logic DoMiNo™ Network Media Processor noise reduction. Moreover, using LSI Logic’s MPEG-4 (H.263+) encoder, LSI Logic DoMiNo brings streaming of sports and movies over the Internet on a wide-screen TV into the living room. For display, LSI Logic DoMiNo performs MPEG-2 (HDTV, SDTV) and MPEG-4 decoding. Format up-conversion of SD for large screen displays is performed using sophisticated Motion-Compensated De-Interlacing (MCDI) techniques. LSI Logic DoMiNo is a true system-on-a-chip architecture, reducing cost, design complexity, power consumption, and time-to-market through its high level of system integration and its C-Ware™ high-level programming environment. LSI Logic DoMiNo has true multi-stream and multi-format A/V codec capabilities that enable TARGET APPLICATIONS: • Interactive, digital set-top boxes • DVD recorder appliances • Home media gateways • Home media servers unique features on digital set-top boxes (STB) and DVD recorders.
