STB7109
High definition AVC, VC-1 and MPEG-2 decoder
with advanced security and connectivity
Rev. 1
DESCRIPTION
The STB7109 represents a new generation of high
definition STB/DVD decoder devices from
STMicroelectronics, providing exceptional
performance for low-cost HD applications. AVC
and VC-1 video decoders, advanced security
features in the form of the Secure Video Processor
and Windows Media DRM and new connectivity
features enable the STB7109 to be a core part of
any home networking device.
An embedded Ethernet port allows the STB7109
to be used in IP set-top boxes, while the generic
transport interface can be easily connected to ST's
range of silicon demodulators. A SATA interface is
provided for HDD applications.
