Set-Top Boxes (STBs)
Xilinx FPGAs enable digital set-top box designers to adopt emerging features and protocols, not yet standardized, thereby allowing OEMs to release differentiated products ahead of the competition. FPGA-based design advantages include:
- Forward Error Correction (FEC)
- I/O expansion
- Smartcard interfacing
- Memory and peripheral controller functions
- Power management
- MPEG decoding
- Custom on screen display overlay
