Description FLI7515, FLI7525
1 Description
The Freeman Premier series of ICs are revolutionary new iDTV SoCs that integrate two
highly successful, market-proven subsystems: STi710x digital/front-end processing and
multi-format audio/video decoding from the STB market, and Faroudja video/back-end
processing from the TV market. The Premier series are high-performance, state-of-the-art
SoCs that can power DTT/cable/satellite/IPTV iDTV designs for worldwide deployment.
From the software compatibility extending from the mature STi710x STAPI layer to the
extensive video processing, tuning, and tools from Faroudja Labs, Freeman Premier are
ideal solutions for addressing the next generation of iDTV design requirements.
The Freeman Premier family of ICs are the latest in a family of scalable performance and
software-compatible H.264 SoCs that address mainstream and performance segments of
the iDTV market. Notably, they are single-chip, 120 Hz TV solutions incorporating MotionCorrected Temporal Interpolation (MCTi) Faroudja technology. They utilize industry-leading
vector estimation to interpolate in-between frames to correct film motion judder and panel
motion blurring. Combining the artistic elements of film with the linear motion of video,
Premier provides audiences with a uniquely enjoyable viewing experience.
Freeman Premier implements the latest generation of Faroudja Video Optimized
technologies, which allow a high degree of customization for TV OEMs. Key technology
improvements in this area include 14-bit color and contrast processing, upgraded
sharpness, upgraded temporal noise reduction, and new MPEG noise reduction.
Furthermore, the Freeman Premier ICs support all connectivity requirements to 3D sources
and all mandatory 3D formats defined in the HDMI 1.4b specification.
With their high performance CPU, A/V decode, graphics engine, motion judder reduction
and motion blur removal features, and extensive network interface capability, Freeman
Premier enables 3DTVs to deliver rich applications for convenient access to multimedia
content, both from within the home, as well as from the web.
