SupraTV 160 Family

Integrated Digital Tv Processors

The SupraTV 160 family combines the key functions required to support digital television systems, the SupraTV processor enables products with enhanced flexibility and performance to be developed at the lowest possible system cost.
 

The use of programmable DSP-based technology allows for product differentiation, while a high performance MIPS processor provides access to industry standard middleware, including MHEG-5. With a comprehensive set of software drivers, proven tool kit and reference platforms, the SupraTV family keeps product development times to a minimum.

The ZR39160 family includes the following SupraTV ICs:

  •  ZR39160 - designed for use in entry free-to-air and payTV markets
  •  ZR39161 - designed for use in free-to-air and payTV markets containing digital video recording and advanced copy protection
  •  ZR39162 - designed for use in entry UK Free-To-Air terrestrial markets, including DTVS MHEG-5 software
  •  ZR39163 - designed for use in U.K. terrestrial markets containing digital video recording and advanced copy protection, and including DTVS MHEG-5 software

    Differences Between ZR39160, ZR39161, ZR39162 and ZR39163

    Chip Target Markets Features Includes MHEG-5 Software
    ZR39160 Entry Free-to-Air and PayTV Entry No
    ZR39161 Digital Video Recording and Advanced PayTV Premium* No
    ZR39162 Entry U.K. Terrestrial Entry Yes
    ZR39163 U.K. Terrestrial with Digital Video Recording and Advanced PayTV Premium* Yes

    SupraTV 160 Development Platform

    A comprehensive development platform is available for the SupraTV 160 family, including evaluation boards for digital terrestrial, satellite and cable-based products. An Integrated Development Environment includes a proven windows based GNU tool kit, Zoran’s SiliconSoftware® registration drivers, and applications that add functions such as flash memory burning, high performance code download, software protection, a sophisticated GUI development tool, (Embedded Wizard), and an automatic code generator.

    The SupraTV 160 family platform will significantly reduce the time taken to develop feature rich digital television and Set-Top Box products. The SupraTV 161 based evaluation board supports all needed peripherals and is available with a COFDM, QPSK or QAM front-end.

    Single and dual tuner Digital Video Recording capabilities can be achieved by adding a hard drive, Zoran’s DVR software, additional memory, and a second front end (for dual tuner DVR).
