MSD95C0H General Description
The MSD95C0H is MStar’s most up-to-date system-on-chip solution for flat panel integrated digital television
products. Building on the success of MStar’s advanced technologies, the MSD95C0H hosts the most
advanced picture processing engine, MStarACE-PRO4 UC , for all the Experts in various of TV video quality
tuning fields to develop the state-of-the-art DTV system. The powerful CPUs and GPUs deliver high
performance for modern Linux and Android TVs. The popular ARM and Mali architecture
ensures the best software compatibility.
Applications with HTML5, Java, Flash, etc., can be realized on MSD950CH with minimized developer efforts.
MACE-PRO4 UC , the Professional UC Edition of MStar video processor, includes all MStar’s successful
color-tuning tools and a newly added multi-dimensional color/sharpening/NR formula that can quickly reflect
subtle or sudden changes in even darker, brighter, or mixture scenes. With this ultimate color processor, a
specially designed color remapping system for modern wide gamut displays, and an easy-to-use color-tool UI,
developers can quickly and easily identify PQ characteristic from the most high-end panel models to the most
conventional panel models.
MStar’s innovated UltraClear DTV video processor adopts multi-frame video recovery technology to perfectly
restore the contents/details, and eliminate the noise/artifacts from broadcasting or Internet videos.
MSD95C0H also integrates all-purpose AV decoders for DTV/multi-media applications, ATSC/QAM, DVB-T,
DVB-C, ISDB-T,DTMB Demadulators and Sound/Video processors into a single device. This allows the overall
BOM to be reduced significantly and making the MSD95C0H a very cost effective multi-standard DTV solution.
MSD95C0H enables feature rich products that bring differentiation to the iDTV market. By the use of powerful
CPU/GPU and AV decoders capable of decoding a plethora of high definition content from Ethernet, USB 3.0
connectivity and MHL. MSD95C0H based systems can provide a high quality media-center experience.
MSD95C0H provides legacy multi-standard analog TV support with adaptive 3D video decoding and VBI data
extraction. Similarly the audio decoder is capable of decoding FM, AM, NICAM, A2, BTSC and sound
standards.
The MSD95C0H supplies all the necessary A/V inputs and outputs to complete a receiver design including a
multi-port HDMI receiver and component video ADC. All input selections multiplexed for video and audio are
integrated, including full SCART supported with CVBS output.
