GLOBAL AND SCALABLE ARCHITECTURE
The TL851 has a programmable architecture that supports multiple international standards including ATSC, OpenCable,
European DVB, the Japanese ARIB standard and proprietary standards such as DIRECTV
®
.
This single-chip solution integrates an MPEG-2 multiple standard definition/high definition video decoder, NTSC/PAL encoder,
a display processor with scan rate converter, a transport demultiplexer, a graphics accelerator for Digital Television, and a
programmable de-interlacer. It supports all DVB/ATSC/ARIB decode and display formats. The TL851 can handle an ATSC,
DVB or DIRECTV transport stream, PES, ES and/or legacy analog formats.
MAKING TELEVISION COMPELLING AND ENGAGING
The graphics processor supports a variety of graphics planes in addition to the
video and cursor planes. The pixel depth and graphics resolution is selectable to
allow a trade off between look and feel and memory footprint.
The TL851’s graphics engine supports high quality, flicker-reduced OSD and
graphics to provide a rich, crisp, TV-centric GUI and other advanced graphical
features needed for advanced STBs and TVs. The TL851 also supports the 5
plane graphics OSD required by the ARIB standard.
A key differentiating feature of the TL851 is the ability to do multiple standard
definition decode and display. The display processor supports split screen, picture-
in-picture and picture-out-of-picture modes. These are complemented by two video input ports. One port is for a transport
stream and the other port is for simultaneous input of an externally digitized analog stream. The TL851 has two outputs – a
primary output supporting all formats and an auxiliary digital or analog output for VCR recording.
