This paper presents an MPEG2 MP@HL decoder LSI for use in digital TV (DTV)
recording/playback systems such as a home server. It integrates the functio
ns required in home servers on a single chip. The chip incorporates not onl
y basic functions for image processing but also effective functions for str
eam recording/playback. It enables smooth execution of trick plays without
complex operations in an external CPU, and makes it easy to build recording
/playback systems.
