TVP9010 HDTV Video Processor and Development Platform - Texas Instruments

Texas Instruments announced the new TVP9010 integrated high-definition television (HDTV) processor and development platform. The TVP9010 HDTV processor is one of newest TI’s TVP9x processor family. This chip  able to produce high quality full HD 1080p resolution. TI designed this new processor as part of a cost-effective solution that fulfills the broadcast requirements for ATSC and DVB-T standards.

To anticipate the DTV transition, TI is also introduce ATSC to NTSC converter reference design. This converter is based on the TVP9007, other  TI’s video processor in the TVP9x family. The TVP9007 has integrated 8-VSB/QAM demodulator and HDTV processor.

Technologically advanced video processing of TVP9010 produces sharp, clear moving images, vibrant colors, high contrast and lifelike skin tones for a natural video appearance. Advanced image filtering and correction techniques mitigate picture noise, and high-quality, field-proven 3D Y/C decoding of composite inputs provides compelling digital output from analog input signals.

The TVP9010 ATSC HDTV development platform includes 8-VSB/QAM demodulation, audio processing, and power management functions. TI also includes TAS3208 audio DSP within this TVP9010 development platform, offering a complete audio and video tools for flat screen TV developers.

Xucheng Wang, TI,  said that TI has shipped two million HDTV processors for the ATSC market and fifty million NTSC/PAL 2D/3D video decoders worldwide. With the new TVP9010, developers around the world can create great looking pictures on large screens from either an analog or digital source.

To extend the functionality of the TVP9010 HDTV development platform  TI also introduce a networked DTV solution using DaVinci technology. DaVinci supports multi-format encode and decode and is used by many leading IP set-top box providers. Utilizing TI's networked DTV and flexible DaVinci technology, manufacturers will be able to develop differentiated HDTV sets that can stream rapidly growing IP content in real time.
