Description
Summary:This paper proposes a new architecture for VASA, a single-chip MPEG-2 422P@HL CODEC LSI with multichip configuration for large scale processing beyond the HDTV level, and demonstrates its flexibility and usefulness. VASA is the world's first single-chip full-specs MPEG-2 422P@HL CODEC LSI with a multichip configuration. An LSI was successfully fabricated using the 0.13-mum eight-metal CMOS process. The architecture not only provides an MPEG-2 422P@HL CODEC but also large scale processing beyond the HDTV level for digital cinema and multiview/-angled live TV applications with a multichip configuration. The VASA implementations will lead to a new dimension in future high-quality, high-resolution digital multimedia entertainment.
