SupraXD®270/272

For Set-Top Boxes

SupraXD®270/272

Description

The SupraXD® 270 processor family is specifically designed for standard definition H.264 satellite Set-Top Boxes. With its high level of integration, this processor is ideal for India and other cost sensitive standard definition H.264 pay-satellite markets.

The SupraXD® 270 family includes a DVB-S or DVB-S2 (only supported for SupraXD® 272 and SupraXD® 273 processors) demodulator, channel 3/4 RF modulator, advanced video decoder, and a high performance CPU.
The processor’s advanced security architecture ensures compatibility with the leading conditional access providers.

Key features

  • Dual MIPS® processors (280MHz / 420 DMIPS Each) for real time processing and application, supporting ThreadX and Linux operating systems
  • NTSC / PAL video encoder with 4 integrated video DACs
  • Five graphic layers with alpha-blending
  • Dolby Digital, MPEG (Layer I, II, II) and AAC audio support
  • DVB-CSA, NDS ICAM and SVP descrambling

Product details

SupraXD® 270 Family Reference Platform

An optimized reference platform is available for the SupraXD® 270 processor family, targeting SD H.264 pay satellite Set-Top Boxes. The reference design package includes the reference design including chassis, power adapter, remote control and necessary cables; design schematics and parts list files; and complete documentation for reference design, software and IC. The SupraXD® 270 family platform significantly reduces the time taken to develop high performance, cost optimized SD H.264 satellite Set-Top Boxes. The SupraXD® 272 based reference platform supports all needed peripherals and is optimized for cost, power and size.

CSR provides pre-loaded CSR software is available on a royalty-free basis and includes the ThreadX® operating system, CSR middleware and application software, and a documented Application Programming Interface. Based on the company’s extensive Set-Top Box, DVD and Digital TV experience, the API provides a stable base on which users can build their own applications. CSR’s SiliconSoftware API is supported from previous SupraXD® ICs. Software portability from one generation to the next minimizes project design time and effort while enabling the software to be reused. Other components of the standard DVB satellite software package include an example Electronic Programming Guide (EPG), close captioning, DVB subtitles along with VBI and OSD Teletext decoding. Zoran also will provide suitable drivers for targeted middleware from OpenTV and NDS along with drivers for Conax, Irdeto, Nagra, and NDS conditional access systems.
