Background information
A flexible, advanced platform targeting IP, DTV and hybrid set-top boxes, the Nexperia Dual SD STB development kit STB222 supports the latest video standards, including MPEG?4AVC (H.264) and VC-1. Its dual channel support allows you to create hybrid IP STB solutions easily, combining the IP channel with terrestrial, satellite or cable DVB reception.
Price sensitive markets can be addressed, as the efficient dual 16-bit memory architecture is ideal for balancing performance against overall system cost.
With media access anywhere, any time in mind, the STB222 can fulfill several different roles. Connected to a hard disk, it becomes a PVR (Personal Video Recorder). It can form the basis for a home media centre, exchanging content with other devices, or it can be configured as a low cost client, connected to a remote media server.
The kit comes complete with our latest DVB-T silicon tuner, with options for DVB-C/S, enabling the complete spectrum of IP, DTV and hybrid STB to be supported. Migrating existing applications or developing new programs is simple as the software architecture is based on mainstream operating systems and APIs.
Manufacturers can choose from Linux or WinCE for fast system development. These are complemented by NXP’s third party software vendor network which can supply key software components. As well as maximizing compatibility, this also means you don’t have to struggle with developing your own low-level drivers.
