STV6418

Description

3/6

the YPbPr set-top box cinch output to drive an HD display, at the same time keeping the

composite and S-video signals available for the dual SCART. The STV6418’s VCR SCART

RGB inputs are also YPbPr-compatible and can therefore be adapted for other niche

applications (bi-directional RGB on VCR SCART).

Optimized power consumption in stand-by

The third key differentiator of the STV6418 is its power consumption, especially in stand-by.

It embeds a brand new function that allows an automatic VCR-to-TV or TV-to-VCR SCART

loop-through as soon as a composite or a luminance signal is active on one of the SCART

inputs. This function allows an instantaneous loop-through while saving power consumption

in stand-by. The STV6418 can achieve a market-lowest 50 mW stand-by consumption,

demanding less than 10% of the power budget that shall soon be required by legislation or

according to the average existing rules of conduct.

Platform scalability

Finally, the fourth key differentiator of the STV6418 and its associated products is their

ability to cover all the dual SCART market spectrum, offering cost savings not only on

device and bill-of-materials, but also on engineering and scalability cost. For example, the

STV6418 shares the same footprint as the STV6417AG or STV6419AG, allowing

respectively two steps for downgrades for one single HD platform in order to serve different

customer connectivity requirements (support for S-video on VCR SCART output, support for

Canal+ analog, component output allowed or not for HD content copyright protection),

optimizing platform cost without re-engineering.
