DVxcel ™ Codecs for Video Peripheral Applications OVERVIEW The DVxcel ™-LE, DVxcel ™-VC and DVxcel ™-DT are the latest offerings in the DVx family of products. DVxcel-LE is designed to enable very low-cost video peripherals, based on MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 compression standards for archiving and web-streaming applications. The DVxcel-VC, a single-chip MPEG-2 codec capable of encoding and decoding video simultaneously, is targeted at the emerging time-shift and digital video recording (DVR) applications. The DVxcel-DT includes the same functionality and features as the DVxcel-VC, with additional support for DV encode and decode as well as transcoding from DV to MPEG-2; features that are critical for enabling new video editing applications. All support both NTSC and PAL formats. Based on LSI Logic’s fourth-generation video processor architecture, these devices are optimized, both in hardware design and functionality, for high-quality, low-cost video-centric consumer applications. Using LSI Logic’s proven PerfectView® encoding algorithm, this product family delivers the highest quality video encoding with the lowest bit rate of any consumer-based solution. FEATURES: • Flexible 16/32-bit host interface • Host DMA target or primary 8-bit HW I/O ports for bitstream data transfers • Secondary 8-bit hardware port for TARGET APPLICATIONS bitstream Web Sharing • Tertiary 8-bit hardware port for bit- Today an extensive amount of multimedia content is available on the Web. As digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable modems become more popular, the need for high-quality, low bit rate video is increasing. The DVxcel’s sophisticated MPEG-1 and -2 compression algorithms provide superior quality and can accommodate bit rates as low as 384 Kbps. Video compression is critical for Web sharing and distribution where file size is important. stream transfer • 8/10-bit ITU-656 video input port • 8-bit ITU-656/601 video output port (not available with DVxcel-LE) • Serial audio interface for audio capture and playback All the DVxcel devices utilize special hardware to implement the following algorithmic functions: • Video compression pre-processing MicroSPARCª Core • Motion estimation and compensation 2 PIO • Variable-length encoding and decoding Motion 10 Video DSP text Video Estimator 4 Audio Interface 16/32 8 Shared with upper • DCTs and IDCTs 4 Interface • High-quality video scaling and composting HOST Interface/ Secondary Tertiary SDRAM Primary/ BSIO BSIO Controller 64 BSIO 16bit of host interface 8 8 8 8 The Communications Company TM DVxcel™ Internal Block Diagram DVxcel ™–LE, DVxcel-VC and DVxcel-DT for Video Peripheral Applications DVXCEL-LE FEATURES: • 208 PQFP • MPEG-1 encode: 384 Kbps to 4 Mbps • Resolution: SIF • MPEG-2 encode: 1.8 Mbps to 10 Mbps • Resolution: 720, 704, 544, 480, 352 • VBR and CBR support Video Archiving Video archiving is a process of converting analog tapes (8mm and VHS) to other digital storage devices such as DV tape and DVDs. Users can capture both video and audio from a camcorder or a VCR, using either MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 hardware-based compression, and send it to a PC via the USB connection. There, the content can be authored and formatted for CD-R, CD-RW, VCD and DVDs. DV content can also be recompressed to be stored on DVDs. This process is called DV to MPEG transcoding. With DVxcel’s ability to perform DV to MPEG optional DVxcel-LE is in a PQFP package to 8MB support low-cost PCB manufacturing. TV Tuner SDRAM With its high-quality compression and low bit rate, it allows even POTs connected PCs to stream audio and video Comp 656 Video VHS Decoder content. The DVxcel-LE enables video streaming and video mail applications broadband (cable, DSL) connections.

This feature enables users to capture audio/video content directly from their transcoding in real time, the storage requirement on your PC decreases six fold. It also eliminates the need to convert the digital content back to analog during authoring. DVxcel also addresses the large installed base of analog VCRs with its unique ability to take edited content from the PC and convert it back to VHS tape for distribution. Time-Shifting DVxcel-DT and DVxcel-VC supply full encode and decode (codec) functionality. For those users who would like to view TV programming on a PC, by utilizing the hard disk drive (HDD) as a storage medium, the encode capabilities of the DVxcel product family can offer compelling features for applications such as DVRs. More importantly, the DVxcel-VC and DVxcel-DT will provide users the ability to view this stored content on their TV using the hardware decode functionality. Not only can users play back the content on the TV but they also have the ability to stop, start, pause, rewind and even skip commercials. This is called time-shifting. While the recording may be linear, the play back can be selected from anywhere from start of the program to a point of live broadcast. DV camcorder to store, edit or view on their PC or TV.
