The LSI Logic DiMeNsion-2 second-generation family of DVD recorder processor products is based on the proven DoMiNoTM architecture. The DiMeNsion-2 family is intended for demanding, yet cost-sensitive, A/V codec applications that allow consumer electronics manufacturers to offer a broad range of DVD recorder and other consumer electronics products. A true system-on-a-chip solution, the DiMeNsion 8602 (DMN-8602) reduces cost, design complexity, power consumption and time-to-market, and offers broadest feature set with the best image quality. The DMN-8602 accepts video from broadcast TV and other analog video sources and compresses and formats the video for storage on DVD in industry-standard recordable formats. The DMN-8602 supports the simultaneous playback of previously recorded video from DVD, which may be from the same broadcast program, time-shifted. To support archiving digital camcorder content to a DVD, DMN-8602 integrates a second generation DV codec. The LSI Logic Direct Digital DubTM technology simplifies the transfer of personal digital content from a cam-corder to DVD over FireWire, with one-touch control via a single remote.
