MPEG-2 Digital Audio/Video Decoder
Affordable high-quality playback
Highlights
This digital audio/video
decoder is designed with
enhanced features to
meet rapidly emerging
demand of broadcast,
small office/home office
(SOHO), desktop
publishing, video post-
processing, and profes-
sional editing user
applications.
MPEGCS 22
This audio/video (A/V)
decoder is part of a family
of MPEG-2 products from
IBM Microelectronics. This
(A/V) integrated single
chip decodes MPEG-2
standard MP@ML video
and MPEG-2 stereo Layer
I & II (CD quality) audio.
This decoder can sustain,
at minimum, MPEG-2 (IPB
frames) data rates up to
15Mbp/s (MP@ML).
Designed for Emerging A/V
Applications
The decoder’s extended features provide
access to user data in the video stream.
The design allows for recognition of
sequence error codes embedded in the
video stream. Horizontal and vertical
filters deliver high quality video for data
formats that require picture size expan-
sion. The chip has a built in phase-locked-
loop to keep the audio and video
synchronized. A flexible host interface is
supported with four modes of operation to
provide for high-bandwidth or cost-
sensitive applications. Memory bus
flexibility is provided to support 2 MB or
4 MB applications.
Teletext and Vertical Blanking
Interval Data Output
The MPEGCS22 decoder chip supports
data transmission on the pixel bus and
teletext data output on the TTX Data pin
during the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI).
The application controls the number of
lines of VBI data to be output. For VBI
data outputs, all the VBI lines can be used
to deliver data. A double buffer is provided
so the host can write VBI or teletext data
to one buffer while the data in the other
buffer is being displayed.
