The EMMA3SL/P SoC is a set-top box (STB) device compliant with H.264 high definition (HD), the next-generation image-compression standard, as well as the multi-format video support used for the increasing number of worldwide internet-protocol television (IP TV) STBs, such as DivX((R)), VC-1, and WMV. The new SoC is also the first among the company’s EMMA products to support China’s audio/video standard (AVS). The EMMA3SL/P device is an image-processing SoC that integrates key functions needed to receive and decode digital broadcasts, including MPEG-2 HD audio/video decoders, transport-stream demultiplexers, as well as display controllers for enhanced display and graphics features.

The new SoC includes these features:

Multi-format video support for IP TV STBs, in addition to support for the H.264 HD standard and China’s AVS,
Integrated enhanced security features
20 percent reduction in the number of on-board pins compared to the company’s existing products, due to the high level of function integration.
