CC1208 Smart Set-Top Box Device

CC1208 is a member of C2 Microsystems’ Jazz 2 second generation family of devices for Internet-connected smart set-top boxes, network media players and similar applications. It is based on an innovative media processor architecture, which is optimized for next-generation high-definition broadcast services and broadband rich media applications. CC1208 decodes all digital broadcast formats and the widest variety of Internet content formats and performs high quality audio post-processing and video de-interlacing, scaling and post-processing for high-definition display via an HDMI or LVDS connection. CC1208 integrates a digital video input port for high-definition video pass-through. CC1208 has a dual-core Symmetric Multiprocessor (SMP) which, with hardware acceleration of graphics operations, delivers very high applications processing performance.

Software

The Media Processor software architecture is based on the Linux operating system and associated open source projects for graphics, networking and file system / storage middleware. The hard real time audio and video stream processing is encapsulated in a pluggable Media Framework, resulting in a robust media processing subsystem that can be extended as new codecs are added or stream processing requirements change.
