Background information
Combining quality, security and simplicity, the STB215 gives you a quick route to delivering digital cable set-top boxes for mid-level markets. Reference designs are available for both Europe and Asia, minimizing your time-to-market and lowering development, manufacturing and logistics costs. The system can be adapted easily for satellite and terrestrial reception, simply by using one of our other fully integrated front-end solutions.
The STB215 provides a comprehensive package that includes key ICs, reference design and board, software (drivers and adaptation layer), and a CD-ROM with full documentation. Based on the ECOS operating system, the software development environment offers a set of debug tools (EJTAG).
At the heart of the solution lies our advanced and highly integrated Nexperia Home Entertainment Engine (HEE) PNX8329. It features a powerful 240 MHz MIPS RISC CPU and has extensive built in functionality, including several memory and connectivity interfaces.
The PNX8329 also incorporates a single multistandard video decoder which can decode MPEG1 and MPEG2 streams in addition to JPEG pictures including rotation and scaling. The decoder quality is further enhanced by blocking and dynamic sharpness algorithms.
The chip’s advanced middleware support includes MHEG and OpenTV.
