Analog companion chip
Rev. 04 – 12 January 2004 Product data
1. General description
The PNX8510; PNX8511 is an analog backend companion chip to digital ICs processing video and audio signals. The primary difference between the PNX8510 and the PNX8511 is:
• PNX8510 includes the Macrovision™ pay-per-view copy protection system • PNX8511 does not include Macrovision™
PNX8510/11 provides two video encoders through two standardized D1 interfaces. The encoders can be bypassed to get direct access to the video DACs for higher resolution displays. PNX8510/11 also contains a sophisticated sync raster engine which can be utilized to generate various synchronization patterns for interlaced and non-interlaced image formats.
