Phoenix DVD Processor
Product Brief
DESCRIPTION
The ES8380 Phoenix™ processor is a single-chip DVD
processor supporting DVD video, MPEG-4 ASP and
DivX® Home Theater playback.
The Phoenix DVD processor is ideal for stand-alone DVD
players, DVD receivers, DVD/VCR combos and DVD A/V
mini-component systems. It incorporates a high-quality
deinterlacer and a TV encoder that supports HD
(720p/1080i) and Macrovision™ protected progressive
(480p/576p) and interlaced video output. The HD output is
ideal for the display of JPEG pictures, and when used with
the built-in video scaler, allows up-conversion of
unprotected video to HD resolution.
The Phoenix processor is built on the ESS proprietary dual
CPU Programmable Multimedia Processor (PMP) core
consisting of 32-bit RISC and 64-bit DSP processors that
deliver the best DVD feature set. It integrates a servo
controller, RF amplifier, read channel, ECC, servo DSP,
and MCU. The Phoenix processor employs a unified
memory architecture to ensure the lowest possible system
memory cost. A USB full-speed host controller is built-in
for connection to Flash memory cards.
The Phoenix processor servo controller supports all
popular optical pick-up units (OPU). Its high performance
error handling allows for playback of scratched and
fingerprinted media.
The Phoenix processor has unmatched audio features
including an integrated high quality 8-channel audio digital
to analog converter (DAC) and a 2-channel analog to
digital converter (ADC). Additionally, it supports the DVD-
Audio, CD-DA, HDCD, MP3, WMA, AAC, and Dolby
ProLogic™ II digital audio formats and Karaoke.
The ES8380 Phoenix DVD processor is available in a 208-
pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) device package.
