marketplace. The reference design is ideal for developing a
feature-rich, low-cost DVD player. Today, the DVD market is
expanding rapidly. DVD titles are being produced in the millions
and are spurring the demand for DVD Players. Rental disks are
also available. The VaddisPlayer Reference Design provides
manufacturers a rapid solution to get into the DVD market with

and the front panel look and feel are sometimes modified. The
main board consists of the Vaddis III decoder, a single 16-Mbit
SDRAM, a CPU, CPU Memory, and Audio/Video output logic.
This board is the heart of the DVD player. The Vaddis III decoder
performs the MPEG-2 Video Decoding for DVD disks and
MPEG-1 Video decoding for VideoCD disks. Dolby Digital or
MPEG audio streams are decoded, while PCM streams are
transmitted to the Audio DAC, and DTS streams to the S/PDIF
output. The Vaddis III decoder performs all the decoding func-
tions in addition to the trickplay, karaoke and zoom functions
through the control from the CPU. The main board is cost effec-
tive and optimized.
The front end drive uses a parallel data interface with a serial
command interface. Overall the VaddisPlayer Reference Design
is a cost-effective implementation that is targeted to spur the
DVD market by providing a low-cost, feature-rich solution that a
customer can take to market immediately.
