video processing, true 3D graphics and display, advanced security, STB peripherals,

audio/video DACs, digital A/V outputs, HDMI output and input, dual eSATA2 ports, PCIe,

quadruple USB ports, dual Ethernet controllers (GbE capable), SLC NAND Flash controller

and an SDIO/SD-MMC card controller.

Features

Benefits

Dual-core, ARM Cortex-A9 applications CPU,

ST40 multimedia real-time processor, ST231

and DRM processor.

Brings full open Internet into the living room.

Very high host processor performance, extensive

connectivity, supports wide software ecosystem.

Integrated graphics processing unit (GPU);

Programmable Vertex (geometry) processor,

and quadruple fragment (pixel) processors,

accelerated four times full scene anti-aliasing

(4 × FSAA).

High-performance 3D GPU supporting up

to1080p60 3D graphics or 1080p30L30R

stereoscopic 3D graphics for blending with 3D

stereoscopic video displays.

Advanced 3D user interface.

Drive 3D casual and semi core gaming.

Dual ST Delta video decoder (latest generation)

with an ST231-based multi-codec capable

controller, coupled with a very high-quality video

display pipeline and 1080p120 display

compositor.

Further extends broadcast services to support

internet video formats.

Full HD Full Motion 1080p120 3DTV, MVC, SVC

and so on.

H.264 video encoder capable of encoding up to

HD resolutions of 1080p60 (or 2 x 720p60 or

4 x 720p30); includes preprocessor video pipe-

line that can resize, deinterlace and noise filter

the video before encoding.

High-quality transcoded video, whatever the input

source resolution / format and transcoded output

resolution, up to HD.

Adaptive streaming server in home network.

HDMI 1.4a receiver input.

Allows input of high-quality digital video from other

sources to switch to the HDMI TV output or

combine with STB video / graphics to master final

output.

Latest generation transport/security subsystem,

with enhanced performance for DVR,

client/server-based, home networks up to

HD 1080p60 video encoding.

Distributes content securely around the home.

Audio and video transcoding.

Dedicated security / DRM processor.

Independent security / DRM processor allows easy

integration of firmware based DRM schemes.

Quadruple USB 2.0 hosts, dual e-SATA2, dual

Gbit Ethernet MAC with

MII/RMII/TMII/GMII/RGMII interfaces, PCIe,

SLC 1-bit and multi-bit ECC raw NAND Flash

controller, SD-MMC/SDIO interface.

Extensive high-speed connectivity for the widest

range of STB peripherals, such as Flash drives,

external HDDs, Gigabit Ethernet, home network

modem and memory cards.
