The ES4318 Digital Video Disc (DVD) processor is a single-chip
solution f or a DVD player that integrates MPEG video decoding,
DVD system navigation, Content Scrambli ng System (CSS), and
Dolby™ Digital (AC-3) and MPEG audio decoding. The fully
programmable ES4318 is based on a proprietary ESS
architecture. It offers the best feature set in comparison to any
currently existing DVD chip, and a glueless interface to various
peripheral components. The ES4318 is the most cost effective
solution i n its cl ass w ith an inte grati on lev el an d qua lity that se t
new benchmarks.
The ES4318 processor is capable of decoding Dolby™ Digital
(AC-3) or DTS digital surround, simultaneously with MPEG-1 or
MPEG-2 video. For embedded applications, the ES4318’s
internal RISC process or can be used in place of a m icrocontroller
to provide all system control, DVD system navigation, CSS
decryption, and many other features. On-chip, multi-tap filters
provide arbitrary scaling with state of the art SmartScale™
technology useful for video standards conversion.
SmartStream™ technology from ESS provides video error
concealment and video post-processing, leading to the highest
playability and video quality. Other features included in the
ES4318 are video letterbox display, DVD Sub-Picture overlay,
and On-Screen Display.
The ES4318 provides a glueless 8/16-bit parallel interface to
most DVD servo/loaders. It connects directly with 8/16-bit ROM
and 16-bit SDRAM/EDO. An 8-bit YUV video interface supports
many TV encoders. General purp os e auxiliary pins are provided
to control various peripheral devices. A standard I
supports popular audio DACs and ADCs. The ES4318 also
features a direct S/PDIF output. A block diagram of a typical
stand-alone sy ste m us ing t he ES43 18 w ith th e glueless SDRAM
interface appears below.
The DVD system stream from a DVD disc is passed to the
ES4318 through the 8-bit/16-bit parallel host interface. The
ES4318 parses the system layer and demultiplexes the audio
and video strea ms. Audio is decode d and p assed through t he I
audio serial bus to an external audio DAC and then to the
speakers. Video is decoded and output as YUV pixels to an
NTSC or PAL video enco d er. System co nt ro l an d ho us e ke epi ng
functions (keyp ad and remote control ) are al so provid ed on-chi p.
