Description
FLI7512
1
Description
The FLI7512 is a revolutionary new iDTV SoC that integrates two highly successful, market-
proven subsystems: STi710x digital/front-end processing and multi-format audio/video
decoding from the STB market, and Faroudja video/back-end processing from the TV
market. The FLI7512 is a high-performance, state-of-the-art SoC that can power
DTT/cable/satellite/IPTV iDTV designs for worldwide deployment. From the software
compatibility extending from the mature STi710x STAPI layer to the extensive video
processing, tuning, and tools from Faroudja Labs, the FLI7512 is the ideal solution for
addressing the next generation of iDTV design requirements.
The FLI7512 is the first in a family of scalable performance and software-compatible SoCs
that address mainstream and performance segments of the iDTV market. Notably, it is the
first one-chip 3D solution at 120 Hz within ST’s exceptional iDTV SoC portfolio. The FLI7512
supports all connectivity requirements to 3D sources and all mandatory 3D formats defined
in the HDMI 1.4a specification.
Additionally, the FLI7512 implements the latest generation of Faroudja Video Optimized
technologies, which allow a high degree of customization for TV OEMs. Key technology
improvements in this area include 14-bit color and contrast processing, upgraded
sharpness, upgraded temporal noise reduction, and new MPEG noise reduction.
The FLI7512, with its high performance CPU, A/V decode, graphics engine, and extensive
network interface capability, enables 3DTVs to deliver rich applications for convenient
access to multimedia content, both from within the home, as well as from the web.
