The reference design uses AuraVision's VxP195 PCI controller, with multiple video-stream capabilities, and C-Cube's ZiVA DVD decoder. Included with the design is a complete software package with Windows Driver Model (WDM) drivers for Windows 98 compatibility, a DirectShow(TM) Software Developer's Kit (SDK) and a DVD navigation application. AuraVision's VxP195 PCI controller includes 5 Direct Memory Access (DMA) channels, allowing for the design of single-slot PCI boards which are capable of handling satellite, DVD and live video data. The DMA controller includes scatter and gather support for Windows 98 and Windows NT memory management. Dedicated data channels provide PCI bus mastering of satellite broadcast data, and VBI data received from NTSC broadcasts, such as Intel(R) Intercast(TM) Web pages. The VxP195 supports all three DirectDraw(TM) modes of transferring video data through the PCI bus, as well as DirectSound(TM) for audio data. A video output port and DirectDraw Video Port Extension (VPE) software allows connection to a wide range of VGAs including S3(R), ATI(R) and Cirrus(R). "AuraVision's VxP195 is a unique PCI chip because it offers 5 DMA channels for both video and audio data streaming," said Chris Day, director of marketing for AuraVision Corporation. "By being the first to offer WDM, a DirectShow SDK, live video and DVD applications, we are offering OEM customers the ability to design the most complete, multi-functional, next-generation video products today."
