Background information

The transition to digital is happening fast. There are huge opportunities for manufacturers who act quickly, hitting mainstream markets with impressive products and eye-catching prices.

That’s precisely what our mainstream digital TV system solutions TV520/8x help you do. These complete and easy-to-use reference designs deliver outstanding flexibility and performance. Based on the highly integrated PNX835x and PNX505x System-on-Chip ICs, they are ideal for the North American ATSC/NTSC (TV520/80) and the European / Australian DVB-T (TV520/82) markets.

Both reference designs contain all the hardware and software you need to build a hybrid TV – optimized to work together perfectly while re-using field-proven middleware components. And as we’ve integrated much of the functionality into a single IC, your component count, board size and overall bill of materials is greatly reduced.

Numerous picture improvement features include:

  • Next-generation Edge-Dependent De-Interlacing (EDDI)
  • 3D comb filter with auto-adaptive 2D/3D switching
  • Temporal noise reduction
  • MPEG artifact reduction
  • 4-field MADI enhanced with edge dependent processing
  • PNX505x picture quality companion IC providing HD movie judder cancellation and motion compensated scan rate conversion for motion artifact reduction

In addition, the TV520/8x solutions deliver rich, vibrant sound from flat speakers – something that will impress anybody. To do this, they include advanced digital audio processing algorithms and a wide range of third-options such as Virtual Dolby, SRS TruSurround XT, Dolby Pro Logic II, BBE and many more.

For the fastest time-to-market, we also offer a system design-in toolkit (SDT). The SDT includes everything you need to support the product differentiation process and customization of items such as connector configurations, user-interface look and feel, different LCD panels and front-end components. And you can use the same developments tools, such as software debugger, for both hybrid and analog-only designs.
