Description

The MG3500 is a highly integrated, low-power, HD H.264 codec SoC ideal for today's consumer and security markets.

It offers a fully compliant baseline, main, and high-profile HD H.264 codec, MJPEG codec, HD MPEG2 decoder, video preprocessors and postprocessors, 240MHz ARM9™ CPU, and a host of peripherals including Gigabit Ethernet MAC, USB 2.0 OTG, SD™ card, compact Flash, IDE, CE-ATA, SDIO, and MMC.

At the heart of the audio/video subsystem are two real-time programmable multimedia engines (MME). One controls the video codecs and input/output processors, while the other implements the soft audio codecs and low-level analytics, leaving the ARM9 processor completely available for application programs.

An evaluation kit is available from Momentum Data Systems for qualified buyers.
