Highly Integrated SupraHD 660 Delivers Cost Optimized Solution for LCD and Plasma Televisions with HDMI and MHEG-5 Features
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 7 /-- Zoran Corporation (NASDAQ:ZRAN) announced it will demonstrate its SupraHD 660 reference design for television manufacturers at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) Sept 8 to 12 in Amsterdam.
The SupraHD 660 platform offers a complete DVB-T broadcast solution with HDMI and MHEG-5 flat-panel display support to qualified customers shipping products to Europe, including the UK.
"Unlike most other solutions that require multiple ICs to enable HDMI, scaling, low power LVDS, and video processing, Zoran's SupraHD 660 integrates all these functionalities into a single SOC. This SOC platform is production proven with high performance display quality and optimal cost savings for digital television manufacturers," said Andy Gane, senior director for digital TV product line.
The SupraHD 660 integrates all the necessary components required to replace existing multichip TV solutions. The SupraHD 660 supports full DVB-T and PAL decoding functionality required for digital and analog televisions as well as high quality video scalar capabilities. As the market becomes more cost sensitive and manufacturers look to move to a single solution, the SupraHD 660 platform available now provides the level of integration needed to function as the heart of multiple TV systems.
Features include:
o Dual channel LVDS transmitters for direct connection to flat panel displays
o Production proven MPEG -2 video and audio decoder
o HDMI receiver with HD copy protection
o Integrated video decoder with 3D comb filter as well as video encoder
o 10-bit video processing for enhanced picture quality
o HDXtreme-based motion adaptive deinterlacer
o Motion adaptive temporal, spatial and impulse noise reduction
