All three processors offer the right combination of features, cost, performance, and power consumption for their respective markets. The Geode SC3200 processor is optimized for the WebPAD market, whether tethered or not. The SC3200 includes a TFT video processor, since WebPADs are LCD-based devices, in addition to other key features. It includes a TV processor , video DACs, and video input port among other key features. The SC2200 targets thin clients with a CRT and TFT video processor and other features.
Power dissipation is less than two watts for all three devices.
The SC3200 is now sampling, the SC1200 has been sampling and is now in production, while the SC2200 is shipping now. The AViA-9600 offers several improvements over previous generations including a more advanced graphics engine, a 150 MHz CPU, as well as IEEE 1394, USB, and IDE controllers. Volume production is expected in the first quarter of 2001. In order for digital set top boxes to enable picture in picture capability or the ability to simultaneously watch one program while recording another, the set top box needs two front end chipsets as well as back-end solutions capable of processing multiple video streams. TeraLogic's chipset comprises the TL821, which enables dual transport stream demultiplexing, and the TL851, which is able to decode two standard definition video streams or one high definition video stream.
