PNX1300

General description

Philips PNX1300 processors are ideal building blocks for devices required to process several types of multimedia datastreams simultaneously, including the latest standards such as MPEG-4, MPEG-2, H.263, MP3, and Dolby Digital. With ample computational power available to capture, compress, and decompress many video and audio data formats in real time, PNX1300s are well suited for a broad range of applications such as Internet appliances, Web-cams, smart display pads, video and screen phones, DVR, videoconferencing, video editing, videobased security, Internet radios, DVD playback, wireless LAN devices, and digital TV sets and set-top boxes. They also support applications in a Java^TM virtual machine environment.

Supported by the comprehensive TriMedia^TM SDE software development environment, PNX1300s are comparable in ease of programmability to general-purpose processors. The SDE enables multimedia application development entirely in the C and C++ languages improving time-to-market and lowering product development and maintenance costs.
