Digital Media Processor

Product Brief

DESCRIPTION

The ES6430 Digital Media Processor (DMP™3) is a new

generation of high performance audio/photo/video

decoder for playback of high definition and high resolution

photos, high quality music, and high bit rate videos from

flash memory cards, hard disks, and USB storage

devices. With its enhanced video engine, the DMP3 chip

playbacks MPEG1, MPEG2, and MPEG-4 ASP video with

GMC and QPEL support.

The DMP3 chip is ideal for stand-alone media players as

well as for TV-embedded players. It incorporates a high-

quality de interlacer and a TV encoder that supports HD

photos to display 720p/1080i pictures in their native

resolution. With its built-in video scaler, the DMP3 chip

allows for up-conversion of home video to HD resolution.

The DMP3 chip is built on the ESS proprietary dual CPU

Programmable Multimedia Processor (PMP) core

consisting of 32-bit RISC and 64-bit DSP processors that

deliver the best JPEG and video feature set. The DMP3

chip includes a unified memory architecture to ensure the

lowest possible system memory cost. A USB full-speed

host controller is built-in for viewing digital photos and

music from USB mass storage devices.

The DMP3 chip offers high quality audio via its built-in

stereo audio digital to analog converter (DAC) and is

capable of decoding PCM wave, MP3, WMA, AAC, and

Dolby Digital audio formats.

A 16-bit host interface is available for connection to CF

and SM memory cards and xD picture cards, as well as to

an IDE hard drive. Similarly, a serial interface is built-in to

connect the DMP3 chip to SD, MMC, MS and MS Pro

devices.

The ES6430 DMP3 chip is available in a 256-pin Plastic

Quad Flat Pack (PQFP) device package.
