Overview

Vaddis 888 is an advanced DVD multimedia processor with an


integrated state-of-the-art 8 channel Class D modulator which
enables a new generation of DVD players featuring universal audio
(DVD-A and SACD2.0). The Vaddis 8 processor enables HDTV
connectivity via HDMI and analog component HD-video with six
14-bit 165Mhz video DACs. It also offers SD-to-HD upconversion
enabling HD content from standard DVD discs. The HD-JPEG
feature enables display of high definition JPEG images.
Vaddis 888 supports DivX, XviD, MPEG-4, and Nero playback. It is
the newest member of the Vaddis product line with a unified shared
memory architecture controlled by a single internal CPU allowing
Zoran customers to leverage current software and system
development to deliver new features and products.
Vaddis 888 de-blocking and de-ringing maximizes video quality by
reducing artifacts in low bit rate streams. Audio post processing
includes bass management and 3D effects. These integrated video
and audio post processing features enhance the total entertainment
experience.
This processor enables new system features such as direct FLASH
card interface, USB2.0 HS and enables Ethernet connectivity with
the MaestroLink chip. This flexibility makes Vaddis 888 ideal for
combo, standalone and portable DVD players.
Universal Audio Player
Vaddis 888 supports DVD-Audio including decryption, decoding, and
audio post processing functions. This processor performs CPPM
decryption, Meridian Lossless Packing (MLP), LPCM decoding, and
bass management. The full fidelity offered by DVD-Audio is
available with the use of 192kHz/24-bit audio DACs. Vaddis 888
supports the new SACD2.0 including playback of HD-JPEG content,
and is backward compatible with SACD1.3 or lower.

Single Pixel Processing (SPP) Progressive Scan


Zoran's proprietary progressive scan technology enables exceptional
video quality for viewing on a progressive scan television. SPP
enables pixel-by-pixel processing of the video, while the Vaddis 888
applies high quality deinterlacing to all areas of the scene, including
areas with limited or fast motion. In addition to four 10-bit 54 MHz
DAC outputs, the Vaddis 888 supports progressive digital video
output.
Enhanced Audio Capability
Vaddis 888 incorporates a 135 MHz 32-bit audio processor enabling
post-processing audio applications. It is capable of supporting Dolby
Digital and Dolby Digital EX, ProLogic I/II, DTS and DTS-ES, MPEG
Layer II, multichannel LPCM, CD-DA, MP3 and Microsoft Windows
Media Audio (WMA) standards, with up to 8+2 audio
channels. Audio post-processing algorithms from Zoran's

SiliconSoftware library can be applied to enhance the listening


experience. These algorithms include Virtual Surround Sound, 3D
Headphones, Graphic Equalization, Karaoke and Music Modes.
Virtual Surround Sound gives the listener a multichannel effect with
only two speakers.
S/PDIF Receiver
The integrated S/PDIF receiver makes Vaddis 888 optimal for
DVD-Receiver applications. The S/PDIF audio signal from a set top
box or other source can be decoded (e.g. Dolby Digital or Dolby
ProLogic II) using the embedded audio processor.

HDMI
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an emerging display
standard enabling a fully digital high definition video and audio
connection from the DVD player to an HDTV.
DivX and MPEG4 Support
Vaddis 888 utilizes hardware accelerators for maximum MPEG4
performance, playing streams of up to 10 Mbits per second at full
D1 resolution and 720x480 @ 30 frames per second.
With support for Quarter PEL (QPEL) and Global Motion
Compensation (GMC), it provides full compatibility with
high-resolution streams.
FLASH Card and USB Applications
A direct interface from Vaddis 888 supports Secure Digital (SD),
Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Pro (MSPro), Compact Flash (CF),
and XD eliminating the need for an external interface IC and reducing
system costs. Vaddis 888 supports playback of JPEG, MP3, WMA,
and MPEG-1/2/4 files from Flash card or from USB-on-a-key. It also
enables a direct interface to digital cameras offering playback of still
images or video on TV.
