Description
STi7108M is the next generation of HD, AVC settop box decoder for satellite, cable, terrestrial and
IP-STB markets that require MoCA
The STi7108M provides a solution for operators
to specify a range of high-performance, MPEG2 /
H.264 / VC-1 STBs.
The STi7108M can be used with zappers, IP
clients, DVR standalone, and DVR server/home
network STBs, especially where true 3D graphics
is required.
Content delivery is possible using broadcast or
broadband networks, or both (hybrid STBs).
The STi7108M is also targeted at next generation
DLNA compatible Blu-ray (BD) and HD Media
players.

1.1) interface, STB
ST40 applications CPU, ST40 real-time CPU,
ST231 applications co-processor. Each CPU
has 32KI and 32K L1 caches with 256K L2
cache for the ST40 applications CPU.
Integrated graphics processing unit (GPU).
Programmable Vertex (geometry) processor and
fragment (pixel) processor, accelerated four
times full scene anti-aliasing (4 × FSAA).
Latest generation of ST's video decoder with an
ST231-based multi-codec capable controller
coupled with a High Quality Video Display
Pipeline.
The high performance ST40 CPU for applications
and middleware, is enhanced by a real-time
companion ST40. The real-time ST40 off loads a/v
management and network protocols. The
applications CPU is complemented by a coprocessor, for multimedia processing and
security/DRM in home networks. Each ST40 works
with the ST231 to deliver unparalleled CPU
performance from a single STB SoC.
True 3D graphics and 2D vector graphics
acceleration, optimized for HD consumer digital
video applications. Compatible with the latest Open
GL ES 1.1/2.0 and OpenVG 1.1 libraries, for bestin-class 3D graphics effects/games, font rendering
and Adobe Flash
®
support. Open GL ES 2.x ready.
Decoded HD video can be used as textures for
visually enhanced, video rich navigation guides
and user interfaces, and provides a platform for 3D
gaming.
Decoding of advanced high definition standards for
broadcast (MPEG2, H264, VC-1, AVS) plus the
performance and flexibility for web-based content
decoding such as Flash
®
. New capabilities such as, Dual H264
Real
®
, DivX™, MJPEG and
HP@L4.1 decoding for HD PIP, and video-video
transition effects, decoding of H264 HP@L4.2
(1080p50, 1080p60 decoding) and premium
rescaling techniques open the way for high quality
viewing of enhanced HD services on the latest
generation of TVs.
Latest generation transport/security subsystem,
with enhanced performance for DVR
client/server-based home networks.
®
MoCA
1.1 subsystem, triple USB 2.0 hosts,
dual e-SATA, Ethernet MAC with
MII/RMII/TMII/GMII interfaces, PCI, SDMMC/SDIO interface.
Multi-stream transport demultiplexing,
descrambling and section/data filtering. Up to 6 live
TS inputs supported.
Extensive high speed connectivity for the widest
range of STB peripherals, such as Flash drives,
external HDDs, Gigabit Ethernet, home network
controllers (such as MoCA
modem and memory cards.
