The LSI Logic DiMeNsion
TM
-3 comprehensive DVD recorder solution includes
a single-chip DVD recorder DSP servo + analog front end (AFE); a family of
analog video decoders; and a third-generation DoMiNo
TM
-based DVD recorder
processor. The DiMeNsion-3 solution is intended for higher performance, yet
cost-sensitive, worldwide DVD recorder and combination products.
The high level of integration of the DiMeNsion-3 solution drastically reduces
system component count, and consequently system cost. Figure 1 shows a block
diagram of an advanced DVD recorder based on the DiMeNsion-3 solution. With
its unique Unified Memory Architecture (UMA), the entire system requires only a
single DRAM and Flash device. Integrated Real Time Clock and low power standby
mode eliminate the need for a front panel microcontroller.
In addition to enabling cost-effective designs, the DiMeNsion-3 solution
enables higher-end features, including SACD and DVD Audio for universal
audio players; MPEG-4 and DivX
encoding and playback, enabling up to
12 hours of recording on a single DVD disc; SD to HD up-conversion and
HD JPEG; LSI Logic's Direct Digital Dub
TM
technology to simplify the transfer
of personal digital content from a camcorder to DVD over FireWire; and
new, more advanced edge filtering and deinterlacing capabilities to provide
impressive noise reduction on analog inputs and eliminate video blurring in
moving scenes via DoMiNoFX
TM
technologies. The DoMiNoFX industry-leading
pre- and post-processing video technologies create a visibly superior viewing
experience. This coupled with LSI Logic's fifth-generation compression technology,
offers excellent video quality, even at very low bit rates.

The L3200 optical read/write DSP servo with integrated AFE is
optimized for consumer recorder applications to reduce overall system
costs. With industry-leading integration for DVD recorder drives, the
L3200 provides a glueless interface and does not require additional
DRAM or Flash. The L3200 supports both record and playback from
DVD+R/+RW and DVD-R/-RW media and playback from DVD, CD,
CD-R/-RW and SACD.

The DiMeNsion-3 solution offers a family of analog video
decoders to cost-effectively address a variety of DVD recorder models
with different requirements in different regions. The L2150 video
decoder is designed to address worldwide, entry-level models. It
includes 9-bit video ADCs and supports both NTSC and PAL.
The L2146 is optimized to address higher-quality video recorder models
in North America and Europe by supporting RGB and Component analog
inputs. It includes 10-bit video ADCs and supports both NTSC and PAL.

A true system-on-a-chip solution, the DoMiNo 8603 (DMN-8603)
reduces cost, design complexity, power consumption and time-to-market,
and offers broadest feature set with the best image quality. In addition
to including a CPU and graphics engine, the DMN-8603 integrates
an NTSC/PAL TV encoder, a third-generation DV codec, an MPEG-4
codec, SACD decoder, and a USB controller.

The DMN-8603 accepts video from broadcast TV and other
analog video sources and compresses and formats the video for storage
on DVD in industry-standard recordable formats. The DMN-8603 sup-
ports simultaneous record and playback operations. With its third-
generation DV codec, the DMN-8603 supports archiving digital camcorder
content to a DVD.
The DMN-8603 offers the longest record time in the industry while
continuing to offer the industry's best video quality. The DMN-8603
enables brilliant display of JPEG pictures through High Definition JPEG
available only with the DoMiNo architecture. The USB controller allows
for connectivity with flash memory cards and digital still cameras.

For DVD video recording applications, the DMN-8603 supports video
compression in compliance with the MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DV-25
specifications, and video decompression in compliance with the MPEG-1,
MPEG-2, DV-25, and MPEG-4 ASP* specifications. The DMN-8603 also
enables transcoding between DV-25 and MPEG-2 and MPEG-2 to MPEG-4.
The product supports corresponding audio compression and decompression
in compliance with the Dolby Digital CE, MPEG-1 Layer 3 and MPEG-1
layer 2 specifications.
The DMN-8603 supports recording on DVD-RW/-R, and
DVD+RW/+R media using +VR, -VR, DVD-V or DivX
formats and
provides complete DVD recordable drive buffer management. The
DMN-8603 can support either half-duplex (separate recording or play-
back) or full-duplex (simultaneous recording and play back) operations
on the DVD recordable drive.
For DVD playback applications, the product supports the playback
of DVD-Video disks with Dolby Digital 5.1, MPEG-1 layer 2 and DTS
audio encoding, disks encoded with DivX
technology, MPEG-1 VCD
and SVCD disks. For audio playback applications, the product supports
the decoding of DVD-Audio disks (MLP), SACD, MPEG-1 layer 3 (MP3),
Windows Media Audio (WMA) and CD-DA formats. The DMN-8603
also performs all audio post-processing tasks such as 3D audio effects
and bass management functions
