ES3210

A ESS Technology, Inc. DESCRIPTION The ES3210 Video CD processor is a highly integrated, high quality and cost-effective single-chip solution for Video CD players. Based upon ESS’s Programmable Multimedia Processor (PMP) architecture, the ES3210 integrates MPEG1 video and audio processing and a full MPEG system stream parser. The ES3210 is fully programmable and incorporates a RISC-based 32-bit processor as an onchip video controller (VC) and a supporting 64-bit processor core that functions as an on-chip video processor (VP). The VC module can be used as a microcontroller to provide system and user interface controls, while also being able to support embedded systems applications. The VP module performs MPEG audio and video processing operations such as arbitrary scaling, video standards conversion and video filtering. The MPEG1 system layer bitstream is decoded at up to 9 Mb/s at Standard Intermediate Format (SIF) resolution with a picture rate of 30 f/s. Two channels of MPEG layer 1 or audio layer 2 are decoded simultaneously. The ES3210 includes SmartScaleTM technology for advanced scaling techniques, SmartStreamTM technology for video error concealment, and SmartZoomTM technology for enabling in/out zooming of a particular area of a still picture. Additional features include DiscScan, TrackScan, QuickScan, OnScreen-Display (OSD), Karaoke, Playback Control (PBC) for Video CD 2.0, Smart Art and entertainment game software. The incoming MPEG1 bit stream from a video CD is p...
