The Philips Nexperia PNX8550 is a highly integrated media processor for building mid- to high-end analog/digital and digital TV receivers with advanced TV and connectivity features. On a single chip, PNX8550 integrates conditional access, MPEG-2 transport stream demux, video decoding, high-quality video enhancement, audio decode and mixing, graphics generation, image composition, and display. It supports simultaneous input and processing of two SD or one HD MPEG streams and two independent outputs for a primary TV screen and a secondary analog device such as VCR. Dual-stream processing also enables support for double window applications such as picture-in- picture and side-by-side pictures.
In basic or advanced configurations, PNX8550 offers extensive video quality enhancement of analog or digital sources including industry standards such
