Mediamatics' next-generation DVD-on-a-chip product family offers consumer electronics manufacturers flexible, single-chip solutions for


The Mediamatics family's development environment includes pin-out compatibility within all member-products, along with fully compatible, comprehensive software development kits. The result is faster time-to-market, lower overall costs and higher product performance. That's not just another claim. It's a fact.

The Platform
The Mediamatics product family provides next-generation features and cost-effective system integration for Universal DVD players/recorders and Internet-connected players/recorders. An industry standard RISC processor architecture allows system developers to combine the ease of C-based applications coding with flexible system extensions unavailable on other platforms. The processor may be equally applied to DVDVideo and DVD-Audio playback, DVD-recordable solutions, hard disk drive-based solutions and Internet appliance (iDVD) products.

Audio Processing
The Mediamatics product family provides unequaled audio processing quality and flexibility. It provides wide support for all common disk-based formats and for many Internet-based formats. A custom DSP provides a powerful solution for the latest compute-intensive audio algorithms. Support for DVD-Video, Video CD and CD formats has been retained from previous generation devices. Additionally, the devices now provide on-chip decoding support for DVD-Audio, DTS, MPEG2 multi-channel, Dolby Prologic, HDCD and MP3. Full karaoke processing and royalty-free 3D stereo surround are also provided. Flexible audio structure allows audio data to originate from disk-based media, external digital audio streams or via the Internet. Full 5.1 channel output with simultaneous 2-channel down-mix and IEC958/1937 output is standard for the family.

Simplified Block Diagram
The following diagram is a high-level simplified block diagram of a representative design of the Mediamatics next-generation DVD-on-a-chip product family. The exact elements and details vary among the different products and are custom tailored in the most efficient cost versus quality balanced way.

System Efficiency
The Mediamatics next-generation DVD-on-a-chip product family provides the highest level of integration, with a minimum of external components needed. This integration of processing/control elements into silicon has been carefully developed with system level efficiencies in mind, both from a cost and quality standpoint. The different family member products offer these carefully tailored solutions as seamless integrated products.

The DVD interface has been defined to work with all common A/V style DVD optical disc control chip sets and the available processing power of the on-chip RISC processor can be used as the controller for these chip sets. This interface supports both the CSS (DVD-Video) and CPPM (DVD-Audio) decryption/ descrambling requirements.
