Marvell ARMADA 1500 Plus High-definition Secure Media Processor System-on-Chip smart tv PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Marvell® ARMADA® 1500 Plus (88DE3108) high-definition secure media processor is a system-on-chip (SoC) delivering high performance, enhanced connectivity and unique video enhancement algorithms to the Internet-connected digital TV, set-top box (STB), over-the-top (OTT) box, thin-client device and other digital entertainment device markets. At the heart of this device are three powerful processing subsystems for Applications (dual-core ARM® Cortex A9 CPU) , Video (Marvell Vmeta™ Video codec), and Graphics (Vivante® GC1000 GPU). Combined, this innovative architecture brings impressive processing power to the digital entertainment market, unifying the user experience between the small screens in our homes (mobile, tablet) and the large ones (TV, cable boxes). The video/audio codec subsystem supports dual-decode (or one encode, one decode) of 1080p H.264, VC-1, MPEG2, AVS, VP8 and several other formats, and allows for decode/encode of HE-AACv2, Dolby HD®, DTS-HD®, SRS® and other high-end audio formats. To address the entertainment industry’s concern for copyright, a dedicated secure processor is included that supports various DRM/CAS schemes and implements multiple crypto accelerators (AES, DES, TDES, etc.) Also included is Marvell’s awardwinning Qdeo™ video post-processing pipeline that provides picture quality (PQ) enhancements that meet the standards of top TV makers worldwide. This device integrates both HDMI v1.4a input and output as well as multiple transport stream inputs, dual-channel LVDS output and CVBS/component analog video output with I2S and S/PDIF input/output to minimize the video/audio components required in the system and save on bill-of-materials (BOM). Peripheral connectivity includes Gigabit Ethernet (RGMII), Fast Ethernet with integrated PHY, 1 x SATA 2.0 host port, 2 x USB 2.0 host ports and 2 x SDIO 3.0 controllers. Coupled with NAND Flash and DRAM, the ARMADA 1500 Plus is the ideal SoC for the digital entertainment markets of today and tomorrow.
