AzureWave AW-VD904 Video Decoder Module

Description

The BCM70010/BCM70012 chipset introduces the advantages of
next-generation high definition H.264 and VC-1 video compression
algorithms to PC applications like the playback of Blu-ray? disks
and streaming media. The chipset is a single-stream HD
AVC/VC-1/MPEG-2 decoder solution capable of full HD real-time
decoding. The high performance and low power consumption of the
solution allow reduced CPU utilization and support for mobile
platform designs.

The chipset fully supports the MPEG-2 standard so that compatibility
with existing media (DVD) can be maintained. The chipset supports
any compliant resolution from QVGA up to 1920 x 1088.
Multistandard high definition video decoding in the following
formats:

• H.264/AVC HP at L 4.1 1080i, 40 Mbps
• H.264/AVC HP at L 3.0 480i  
• H.264/AVC HP at L 3.2 720p  
• SMPTE VC-1 AP at L 3 1080i, 40 Mbps  
• WMV9 (VC-1 SP and MP)
• MPEG-2 MP @ ML and MP @ HL
• 720p, 1080i and 1080p support  
• Blu-ray disc playback on PCs/x86  
• Protected media playback on PCs/x86  

The chipset is available for motherboard designs as well as in
module form:

• PCIe mini card
• PCIe desktop adapter
• ExpressCard 34
