Connected
to the Dab radio receiver inside the
car, the T-DMB decoder is based on
ST's t Nomadik mobile multimedia processor,
the STn8810. ST says that the device
emerged as a clear choice for the
project, thanks to its video and audio
quality, scalable performance, low
power consumption, and advanced security
features with digital rights management
(DRM) support.
Moreover,
Nomadik's software platform including
video and audio codecs (e.g. MPEG4/H264,
BSAC, ACC+) brings key advantages
for product implementation and reduces
time-to-market constraints. Nomadik's
distributed architecture combines
a ARM9 processor with smart accelerators
for audio and video decoding and an
advanced power management unit on
a single chip.
The Nomadik SoC also features a set
of peripheral interfaces for connection
to the external components, including
the car radio, digital-to-analogue
converters for top-quality audio and
video playback, memory cards (SD/MMC),
or USB. Associated DMB software includes
a Receiver Data Interface (RDI)
decoder, error detection and correction
software, the latest video (MPEG-4/H264)
and audio (AAC) codecs, and software
blocks for rendering and synchronizing
audio and video data.
The
in-car Mobile TV solution is part
of ST's hardware and software platform,
ready to address the demand for Multimedia
convergence in the car. The platform
is centered on ST's Nomadik application
processor and benefits from ST's leadership
in GPS receiver, radio tuner and Bluetooth
ICs.
