DESCRIPTION

The ES6168A VibrattoS DVD processor is a super high performance single-chip MPEG video decoding solution that provides not only DVD decoding, but also MPEG-4 support, allowing users to view video clips (from the Internet, a camcorder, or other source) on DVD players.

The ES6168A integrates a state-of-the-art progressive scan video feature to provide brilliant and sharp, flicker free output to the video display, built-in CPRM, and S/PDIF input and output support. The ES6168A performs audio/video stream data processing, TV encoding, Macrovision copy protection, DVD system navigation, system control, and housekeeping functions.

The Vibratto-S DVD processor is built on the ESS proprietary dual CPU Programmable Multimedia Processor (PMP) core consisting of 32-bit RISC and 64-bit DSP processors and offers the best DVD feature set. The processing units enable simultaneous parallel execution of system commands and data processing to perform specialized encoding and decoding tasks.
