Experience home entertainment in your car
or Give your car a living room
Today’s cars do more than just get us from one
place to another. They let us relax with our favorite
entertainment, whether it’s high-end audio or
high-denition video. We can listen to our favorite
playlists or let the kids watch their favorite movie –
with today’s in-car entertainment systems, everyone
can enjoy the ride.
At NXP, we give you the simplest, easiest way to
create best-in-class multimedia systems, with proven
technology and an extensive range of reference
designs. Our PNX953x processing technology
enables high performance and versatility, so you can
create innovative audio/video systems faster than
ever.
Movies, music, and images
The NXP PNX953x automotive A/V reference design
is the perfect foundation for creating differentiated,
feature-lled entertainment systems. Your designs
will let passengers enjoy high-quality entertainment
from a variety of media, whether it’s watching videos
or playing music, and everyone can make their own
selection, with different options playing in the front
and rear seats at the same time.
The A/V reference design lets passengers play video
content form a wide range of sources, including
embedded Flash and HDD storage, USB memory
sticks, or SD (Secure Digital) Flash cards and other
popular DVD formats. TV reception can even be
an option, since the design covers all the main
standards for in-car TV, plus video playback.
For audio, the A/V reference design enables
playback from a variety of storage media, and
offers comprehensive support of compressed audio
les such as MP3, WMA, and AAC. The reference
design handles multi-channel audio with ease,
including AC3, for higher-end systems that create
impressive, surround-sound environments. Multiple,
simultaneous audio streams allow
different combinations of audio delivery, including
front/rear audio.

Proven performance, flexib ility, and scalability
The PNX953x family of PNX953x media processors makes it easy to bring highly
advanced multimedia systems to market. They offer unprecedented exibility and
enable a wide range of exciting media technologies tailored to different markets.
Building on the advanced architecture, the PNX953x family is designed for scalability. Choose the processor that best ts your needs, based on processing speed, the
number of video I/O, and the memory interface supported. The rest of the features,
including the pinning and interfaces, are identical. The software platform is common
for all the processors, too, so it’s easy to deliver a range of performance options.
