TV Decoder with PVR Support
CX2417x
Conexant’s portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of semiconductor solutions
for broadband communications and the digital home. Conexant’s CX2417x
High-Definition TV (HDTV) decoder features all the major elements required
to implement the core system and decoder electronics of a high-performance
personal video recorder (PVR)-enabled HDTV STB deployed in digital satellite,
cable, or terrestrial TV networks.
The CX2417x family features an MPEG-2 MP@HL video decoder, 32-bit RISC
CPU, high-definition and standard definition video/graphics display controllers.
The multi-format audio decoder supports MPEG-1, MPEG-2, Dolby® Digital,
MPEG-4 AAC, and aacPlus™.
PVR functionality is supported by three dual-stream transport processors
(up to six baseband TS interfaces), fully integrated serial and parallel advanced
technology attachment (ATA) interfaces for hard disk drive (HDD) connectivity,
and 3DES/AES ciphering engines for encryption of data to the HDD. This
functionality enables end users to simultaneously watch and record separate

bill of materials and allows the flexibility of supporting different modulation
and compression technologies with a low cost, highly featured MPEG
solution. The CX2417x decoders can be used in conjunction with Conexant’s
CX24118 satellite tuner and advanced modulation demodulators such as the
CX24116 DVB-S2 demodulator or the CX24114 8PSK demodulator, providing
a cost-effective STB semiconductor system solution for MPEG-2 and MPEG-4
advanced video coding (AVC/H.264) HDTV broadcast receivers.

Common Platform for Satellite, Cable, and Terrestrial
STB manufacturers increasingly look to leverage a common
hardware platform that can be reused over various broadband
networks, including satellite, cable, terrestrial, DSL, and Ethernet
IP networks. Conexant’s CX2417x ICs can serve as a common
back-end platform that easily interfaces to a variety of broadband
front ends, including QPSK, 8-PSK, DVB-S2, QAM, OFDM, 8-VSB,
ADSL/VDSL, 802.3, 802.11a/b/g, or IEEE 1394 through either
transport stream or PCI interface. This provides a flexible STB
solution that can be targeted to a variety of broadband operators
while minimizing hardware/software development costs. The
CX2417x is also fully compatible with a MPEG-4 (AVC/H.264)
