September 2000 MediamaticsTM NDV8401 DVD on a Chip Processor Platform The MediamaticsTM NDV8401 DVD on a Chip Processor provides features and cost effective system integration for Universal DVD Players and Internet connected Players/Recorders. Integration of an industry standard RISC processor architecture operating at high performance levels allows system developers to combine the ease of C based application coding with flexible system extensions unavailable in other platforms. This processor can be equally applied to DVD-Video & DVDAudio playback and Internet Appliance products. quality and flexibility with wide ranging support for all common disc-based audio formats and many Internet based formats. A custom 24-bit DSP has been developed to provide a powerful solution for the latest compute intensive audio algorithms. Support includes DVD-Video, VideoCD and CD formats. The flexible audio structure allows audio data to originate from discbased media, external digital audio streams or via the Internet. Full 5.1 channel output with simultaneous 2channel down-mix and IEC958/1937 output is standard for the NDV8401. Audio The NDV8401 provides unsurpassed audio processing Features The NDV8401 is a “system on silicon” solution for consumer DVD Players. Significant feature enhancements are being provided on this version of the NDV8401 device to address both full-featured DVD-Players and DVD-R/W Recorder/Player products.
