DESCRIPTION

STMicroelectronics introduces the

first

silicon

device to support the Secure Video Processor

standard: STx5525 STB decoder.

Developed specifically to be an open standard,

SVP technology gives consumers total confidence

that legitimately purchased content can be viewed

on

a

variety

of

devices

from

different

manufacturers.

The STx5525 device offers two embedded USB2.0

host ports and a SATA interface to satisfy the

high performance 400 MHz ST200 CPU powers

ever more demanding applications and operating

systems.

card devices and a choice of demodulators and

silicon tuners, the STx5525 forms the core of a

comprehensive portfolio of products targeting

powerful, cost effective satellite, cable and terrestri-
