BCM7402 - AVC/MPEG-2/VC-1 HD non-PVR Digital Video for Cable, Satellite and IP Set-Top Boxes

AVC/MPEG-2/VC-1 HD non-PVR Digital Video for Cable, Satellite and IP Set-Top Boxes

The BCM7402 is a high definition satellite, cable, and IP set-top box non-DVR solution offering integrated AVC (H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10), MPEG-2, and VC-1 video decoding technology. It combines a data transport processor, high definition AVC/MPEG-2/VC-1 video decoder, advanced-audio decoder, 2D graphics processing, high-quality video scaling and motion adaptive deinterlacing, six video DACs, stereo high-fidelity audio DACs, a MIPS32/MIPS16e™ class CPU, and a peripheral control unit providing a variety of set-top box control functions.

The MPEG-2 DVB-compliant transport stream/PES parser and demultiplexer is capable of simultaneously processing 256 PIDs via 128 PID channels in up to five independent external transport stream inputs and two internal playback channels. All 128 PID channels can be used by the record, audio, and video interface engine (RAVE), PCR processing, message filter, and for output via the high-speed transport or remux module. The transport provides 1DES/3DES/DVB/Multi2/AES descrambling support. A memory-to-memory DMA security module may be programmed for supporting AES/1DES/3DES/CSS/CPRM/CPPM/DTCP copy protection algorithms/standards. The BCM7402 features the Broadcom secure processor providing secure key generation, management, and protection.
