CX23416

Convergence Video MPEG Encoders/Codecs MPEG-2 Encoder CX23416 The CX23416 is a low-cost, low-power MPEG-2 video and audio encoder that integrates the functionality of several ICs in a single device Conexant’s broadband communications portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of semiconductor solutions that enable the digital home and information network. The CX23416 is a highly integrated MPEG-2 audio/video encoder. The versatile CX23416 actually incorporates the functionality of up to three different chips, allowing Conexant to deliver this device at a price point that will enable consumer electronics and personal computer companies to dramatically reduce the cost of designing and manufacturing their next-generation digital video products. Pre-filtering improvements in the CX23416 include built-in noise filters that dynamically improve images in the pre-processing stage. As a result, end-users obtain the best possible picture, even as the data rate is reduced and the recording time is lengthened. Other video quality improvements include an increased motion search range, the de-coupling of motion estimation from encoding, and an adaptive quantization scheme. To reduce the overall cost of the CX23416 and achieve the highest video quality, Conexant devoted significant engineering resources to determining the optimal balance between hardware and software implementation of these processing improvements.
