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.

Features Benefits

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.
