Single chip settop(or two chips) that does AC-3, or multichip..................... st.com STV0119 : FULL COMPLIANCE The STV0119 integrated digital encoder circuit offers full compliance with the Macrovision Revision 7 standard for both NTSC and PAL standards. The STV0119 transforms digital video signals into a composite analog signal for connection to TVs and can be used at the output of all consumer digital equipment: DVD players, PC DVD boards, digital set-top boxes, video CD players and video game consoles. In addition to this basic function it includes circuits for closed captioning, teletext, copy generation management teletext encoding and the Macrovision anticopy system. Composite (CVBS, Y & C) and component (RGB) outputs are provided. Thanks to the compact and easy-to-use SO-28 package the STV0119 saves on packaging costs and board area. This saving is especially useful in systems where two digital encoders are used. One is for the TV output. The second, without on-screen display, is for simultaneous recording of clean images, whenever recording is allowed. The STV0119 joins SGS-THOMSON's broad range of integrated circuits for DVD and set-top box applications. The multichip solution already available includes the STi3520A MPEG-2 Video/Audio decoder, the ST20-TP1 32-bit RISC/transport and the STi4600 Dolby AC-3 decoder.
