A television on a chip (TVOC) system that provides a cost effective
approach for providing television functionality on a single integrated
circuit chip is disclosed. A TVOC includes the functionality necessary to
receive and display television signals in a variety of input and output
formats. A TVOC can be used in set-top boxes for cable and satellite
television, or directly within a television. All functionality provided
can be provided on a single integrated circuit. TVOC includes a data
transport module, an IF demodulator, a digital audio engine, an analog
audio engine, a digital video engine, and an analog video engine. The
TVOC also includes three sets of interfaces including output interfaces,
control interfaces and ancillary interfaces. Further features and
embodiments provide enhanced functionality and increased efficiencies.
