In addition to including a CPU, graphics engine, and complete audio and video

systems, the DMN-8652 integrates an NTSC/PAL TV encoder, a second-generation DV

codec, a Unified Memory Architecture and a USB controller. The USB controller allows for

connectivity with flash memory cards and digital still cameras. In addition, the DMN-8652

has two dedicated ATAPI controllers that support the DVD recorder and hard disk drives.

There is built-in support for progressive video output. This high level of integration makes

DMN-8652 one of the most comprehensive and cost-competitive HDD/DVD recordable

solutions in the market today.

The DoMiNo architecture – the foundation of the DMN-8652 product features

– represents the optimal balance between hardware and software. Repetitively executed,

computationally complex pixel processing tasks are accelerated in hardware execution

units. Higher-level data processing is performed on standard RISC processors, per-mitting

substantial product flexibility and use of industry-standard development tools.

The DMN-8652 is compatible with the LSI Logic C-Ware™ architecture, which

provides a standardized API that is reusable across LSI Logic DoMiNo-based consumer

digital video products, fully preserving software investment. C-Ware is inte-grated with the

Wind River Systems® VxWorks RTOS and is supported by an industry-leading software

development tool-chain.
