™
The LSI Logic DoMiNo network media processor is the industry’s first
programmable, single-chip, multi-stream, multi-format, MPEG audio/video/system
codec (encoder/decoder) architecture. This powerful and flexible architecture has
been designed to trigger — very much like the domino effect — an endless variety
of digital audio/visual (A/V) products for the consumer, prosumer and professional
markets. The LSI Logic DoMiNo architecture brings distributed video and digital
entertainment to the networked home in the Internet Age.
To deliver the industry’s best quality HD and SD TV images, LSI Logic
®
DoMiNo uses LSI Logic’s award-winning PerfectView MPEG-2 encoding algorithm in
LSI Logic DoMiNo™
combination with its advanced motion compensated noise filtering for superior source
noise reduction. Moreover, using LSI Logic’s MPEG-4 (H.263+) encoder, LSI Logic
DoMiNo brings streaming of sports and movies over the Internet on a wide-screen TV
into the living room. For display, LSI Logic DoMiNo performs MPEG-2 (HDTV, SDTV)
and MPEG-4 decoding. Format up-conversion of SD for large screen displays is
performed using sophisticated Motion-Compensated De-Interlacing (MCDI) techniques.

LSI Logic DoMiNo is a true system-on-a-chip architecture, reducing cost,
design complexity, power consumption, and time-to-market through its high level of
system integration and its C-Ware™ high-level programming environment. LSI Logic
DoMiNo has true multi-stream and multi-format A/V codec capabilities that enable
unique features on digital set-top boxes (STB) and DVD recorders. These include, but
are not limited to, dual-channel HD decode with picture-in-picture, quad-channel live
preview for channel selections, digital and analog time-shifting, seamless channel and
