Elite

• A Global System Architecture provides a programmable system

that supports multiple international standards including European

DVB, US ATSC, US Cable CableCARD, the Japanese ARIB

standard, and proprietary standards such as NDS ICAM.

• Generation9-Elite ICs incorporate AES encryption/decryption

to/from the HDD or any other system I/O interface to protect any

digital content.

Access to World Markets

• Due to the flexible architecture and worldwide conditional access

capabilities, a single hardware design can be retargeted at

multiple world markets.

• A core design built around this architecture provides access to

enhanced features such as PVR, additional broadcast reception

types, PIP, POP and Dual Display STBs (e.g. sharing a single

PVR HDD). OEMs can build a simple A/V system for time-to-mar-

ket and enhance it quickly with additional market enabling

features.

Facilitates Modular and Expandable Systems

• Dual MIPS 32-Bit CPUs provide industry leading levels of both

system and application support

• Cost-effective integration is achieved through the use of multiple

optimized micro-controllers as well as an advanced proprietary

floating point DSP and an industry standard CPU

• A Media DSP for real-time media processing separate from the

Application CPU, rendering it Ideal for audio and enabled for

Streaming Media

• The specialized Video Signal Processor (VSP) enables user

defined features including motion adaptive de-interlacing

algorithms, reverse 3:2 pulldown techniques, and film mode

detection. Custom algorithms can be running in significantly less

time than it would take to implement in hardware

• The Texture Processor Engine (TEX/Warp) provides TV centric

graphics effects and ARIB acceleration not available to other

architectures. Implement 3D TV effects without the cost of a 3D

graphics engine as both graphics and video can be treated as

user interface objects

• The Flexi-Port Multi-Channel I/O function meets the requirements

of the most demanding DTV, PVR and STB architectures by

providing true Orthogonality with different input and output

formats including; Serial or Parallel TS, Multi BT.656 and DVI In or

Out.
