HIGH DEFINITION DIGITAL

The explosive demand for high definition video and audio worldwide is causing many DTVs, and digital set-top boxes, to be re-architected so that the SoCs used can deliver the performance required to support streaming high definition at low price points.

Sonics is leading the high definition revolution with a wide-range of SMART Interconnect solutions including SonicsMX and SonicsLX. SonicsMX is a silicon proven high-performance SMART Interconnect solution that is empowering many of today’s market leading DTVs. SonicsLX delivers high value for applications needing basic high definition streaming and is architecturally compatible with SonicsMX so that upgrading SoC performance is seamless.

When coupled with a Sonics memory subsystems solution that use Sonics MemMax Memory Scheduler as a foundation, achieving the high bandwidth from external DRAM, required to meet the high definition specification, has never been easier or most cost effective.
