client high-definition STB (Set-Top Box) applications with conditional access (CA). It is configured with a DVB-C
demodulator, a transport stream processor with different types of descrambler needed for different CA systems,
dual smartcard interfaces, a multi-format audio, and video decoder which is capable of decoding MPEG-1/2/4,
H.264 (ISO/IEC 14496-10), VC-1, AVS, RealMedia formats. It has a digital video encoder of supporting CVBS,
S-Video, YPbPr SD, and HD output. For HD digital output, the MSD7866 also has a built-in HDMI 1.3
transmitter.
For conditional access (CA) and digital right management (DRM) applications, the MSD7866 provides a very
secure architecture for protecting any security information in a CA/DRM system. It provides a secure bootloader including a programmable OTP ROM, a hardware-controlled key management unit that can fulfill the
requirements from different CA and DRM systems.
For multimedia and network applications, the MSD7866 includes four USB 2.0 host controllers, a 10/100 Mbps
Ethernet controller, a SDIO controller making it possible for the MSD7866 to decode and record media files viathose sources from both network and external storage devices. With built-in high performance MIPS74Kf CPU
and DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM controller, the MSD7866 can fulfill the requirement of modern multimedia and network
applications.
