At the Core of Digital AV
Leading-edge digital audio-visual devices, such as full-HD TVs, Blu-ray recorders and Set-Top Boxes, are the epitome of the
system on a chip (SoC). The EMMA and R-Home series are core devices in these applications, and play a leading role in
advanced processing to ensure the best possible experience for the consumer. Renesas have a long history in producing devices
for audio-visual applications having shipped its first STB MPEG decoder SoC in 1998.
Renesas has developed a new integrated SoC platform, which incorporates the core technologies essential for the three
areas of the future networked society: mobile devices, automotive information systems and home multimedia applications.
The new integrated SoC platform has been formed by combining advanced technologies of the different application
areas. By developing new products based on the new integrated platform, Renesas provides timely solutions for the
growing market.
The new R-Home series of SoCs will be launched to bring even greater performance to STB products.

Reference Design Example
Renesas has available a range of cost and power consumption optimised reference designs based on the EMMA MPEG decoder SoCs. These reference designs enable manufacturers and broadcasters to leverage Renesas’ widely recognised cost, power and time to market advantages when bringing a new product to market. To complement the hardware database Renesas also provides low level driver code and demonstration software. Fully featured DVB stacks are available from 3rd parties. This enables Renesas to be flexible in supporting a range of customer development models.

The adoption of digital television broadcasting has expanded worldwide, and the popularity of 3D broadcasts is expected to grow in the future. As a result, there is a rising demand today for semiconductor devices that combine compatibility with these standards along with support for the latest video formats. At the same time, increasing demand for affordably priced products such as Set-Top Boxes and Digital Video Recorders is anticipated in emerging economies that are experiencing rapid growth.
Digital Video Recorders & Simple Set-Top Boxes
Connected Set-Top BoxesThe convergence of the Broadcast and Broadband market brings new opportunities for the consumer to access internet
based content. Whether the need is for a traditional broadcast, IP STB, or a Hybrid STB supporting Over-The-Top services, Renesas has a low cost solution while still enabling a high quality product.
Linux based solutions from Renesas enable the connectivity required to access Over-The-Top services. The EMMA devices are ideally suited to producing low cost Zappers or DVR Hybrid terminals. Partnerships with middleware providers enable access to a range of solution and customisation services.
EMMA has been widely used by the leading Pay TV Operators through Renesas’ relationships with the leading Conditional Access companies. Please check with Renesas regarding the certification status of any particular device.
