DUO BCM7424
Full-Resolution HD 3DTV Set-Top Box SoC Solution
Produced in 40 nanometer (nm) process technology, the BCM7424 is a high definition (HD) full-resolution 3DTV set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution designed for residential video gateways. It is the industry's first SoC to combine a 1.3 GHz dual-threaded MIPS® applications processor with the latest transmission efficient H.264/MPEG Scalable Video Coding (SVC), and Multiview Video Coding (MVC) standards for enabling 1080p60/50 content distribution and full-resolution HD 3DTV.
It also features a 1G pixel per second OpenGL® ES 2.0 3D GPU for advanced 3D graphics acceleration, and whole-home connectivity that includes Digital Living Network AllianceSM (DLNA®) support and integrated Ethernet MII and PHY support for connectivity with Broadcom's Wi-Fi and powerline solutions. Providing these high levels of integration and performance, the BCM7424 is designed to meet the needs for the next-generation connected home experience including a compelling and leading video content experience, more web-based software applications and the ability to stream content and connect devices in the home and on-the-go.
FEATURES:
- Ultra-high performance BRCM 5000 MIPS-based applications processor with 3000 DMIPS of applications processing performance supported by unique and powerful 2D and OpenGL ES 2.0 3D GPU's to further enhance web-based software platforms
- Distributed processing set-top box architecture featuring an additional 3000 DMIPS (total of 6000) of multiple high-performance sub-system processors and hardware
- Lower power and higher performance 40nm CMOS silicon technology
- The MPEG industry standard, SVC, that supports full-resolution HD 3DTV, and also enables a 40 percent bandwidth savings for backward-compatible 1080p60/50 content distribution to new and legacy STBs
- Integrated Ethernet MII and physical layer (PHY) capabilities for connectivity with Broadcom's Wi-Fi and powerline solutions. and available DLNA server/player software stack to support multi-room DVR services for 5 or more IP STB client devices enabling a simpler and cost effective home architecture that dramatically lowers capital costs
- Customized high performance (430MHz) VLIW (very long instructional word) DSP (digital signal processing) for audio processing
- A broad array of time-to-market web-based connected home STB software applications environments including Adobe Flash® Platform for TV, Webkit HMTL 5.0, Java, Nokia's Qt Framework including QtWebkit, DLNA 1.5, and DirectFB application libraries
- Unique HD FastRTV™ channel change acceleration technology that improves channel change speeds by up to 500 percent
- Integrates a real-time HD transcoder that converts broadcast, over-the-top (OTT) and user-generated content into a wide range of resolutions, formats and bit rates that enable seamless content distribution to connected devices both in the home and on-the-go, and also provides advanced services, such as video conferencing
