STiH318:ARM Cortex-based, UHD 60 fps, multimedia connected client platform

ST's STiH314, STiH318, STiH414 and STiH418 system-on-chips, provide full-featured solutions for premium, high-quality, 60 fps UHD client and server set-top boxes.

These SoCs support integrated broadcast and broadband services, as well as the latest set-top box middleware and broadband software solutions.

HEVC is the native video compression standard for UHD broadcasts, but additionally, allows operators to offer more HD channels for a given bandwidth, offer the same HD content with less bandwidth, or to store more video content on HDD or Flash storage.

The STiH318 and STiH418 integrate VP9 decoding, to support YouTube™ viewing in ultra-high definition, for example.

The STiH414 and STiH418 support simultaneous multi-stream video transcoding. ST's Faroudja®transcode engine provides best-in-class transcoding capabilities for multi-screen streaming across consumer and hand-held devices. This allows operators to optimize network bandwidth, while offering an excellent quality of service throughout the home.
