The NP4 HD [NP4HD] is a fully optimized low cost single chip.



This processor enables:

  • MPEG-4 AVC SD (NP4 & NP4+) or HD (NP4 HD),
  • MPEG-4 AVC SD (NP4 & NP4+) or HD (NP4HD) to MPEG-2 high speed transcoding,
  • HDMI connectivity (NP4 HD),
  • IP-TV & PC connectivity,
  • Unrivalled security features

The NEOTION Processors 4 are available through patented module (The Neotion Pockets ) and sub-systems (The Neotion Core Modules ) implementations directly compatible with the millions of Digital Satellite Receivers already unfold in the general public market. We will find the NP4 Series in various implementation types:

  • Digital TV receiver,
  • Digital Video Recorder,
  • Sub-system – The NEOTION Core Module – to be inserted into digital set-top boxes (Daughter Board separately sold to be inserted in a MPEG-2 legacy decoder with SO-DIMM interface),
  • Modules – The NEOTION Pockets dTV – to be inserted in the STB or iDTV (DTT enabled TV sets) Common Interface,
  • IP (Internet Protocol) receivers

These MPEG-4 AVC processors solutions meet legitimate expectations from the contents editors who want, either reduce their delivery costs, or increase their audience ratings or from audiences who expect to receive an increased choice in the number of channels and more and more diversity.

The NEOTION Processor 4 conception – NP4 has begun in January 2003 and has been launched since 2005.
La conception du NEOTION Processor 4 + - NP4+ a démarré en janvier 2005 et il est opérationnel depuis septembre 2007.
The NEOTION Processor 4 conception – NP4 has begun in January 2005 and has been launched since September 2007.

The NEOTION Processor 4 HD conception – NP4HD has begun in 2006 and will be launch end 2007, beginning 2008

All these ASIC integrate Neotion patented security features as well as unrivalled MPEG-4 AVC applications.
