S922X is an advanced application processor designed for hybrid OTT/IP Set Top Box(STB) and high-end media box applications. It integrates a powerful CPU, GPU subsystem, a secured 4K video CODEC engine and a best-in-class HDR image processing pipeline with all major peripherals to form the ultimate high-performance multimedia AP.
The main system CPU is based on Big.Little architecture which integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 CPU cluster and a dual-core Cortex-A53 cluster with united L2 cache to improve system performance. Each CPU core includes the separate NEON SIMD co- processor to improve software media processing capability.
The graphic subsystem consists of two graphic engines and a flexible video/graphic output pipeline. The ARM MaliTM-G52 MP4 GPU handles all OpenGL ES 3.2 Vulkan 1.0 and OpenCL 2.0 graphic programs, while the 2.5D graphics processor handles additional scaling, alpha, rotation and color space conversion operations. Together, the CPU and GPU handle all operating system, networking, user-interface and gaming related tasks. The video output pipeline includes Dolby Visionoptional HDR10, HDR10+, HLG and PRIME HDR processing, REC709/BT2020 processing, motion adaptive edge enhancing de-interlacing, flexible programmable scalar, and many
picture enhancement filters before passing the enhanced image to the video output ports.
Amlogic Video Engine (AVE-10) offloads the Cortex-A53 CPUs from all video CODEC processing. It includes dedicated hardware video decoder and encoder. AVE-10 is capable of decoding 4Kx2K resolution video at 75fps with complete Trusted Video Path (TVP) for secure applications and supports full formats including MVC, MPEG- 1/2/4, VC-1/WMV, AVS, AVS+, AVS2 RealVideo, MJPEG streams, H.264, H265-10, VP9 and also JPEG pictures with no size limitation. The independent encoder is able to encode in JPEG or H.265/H.264 up to 1080p at 60fps.
S922X integrates all standard audio/video input/output interfaces including a HDMI2.1 transmitter with 3D, Dynamic HDR, CEC and HDCP 2.2 support, stereo audio DAC, a CVBS output, 4-lane MIPI DSI interface, multiple TDM, PCM, I2S and SPDIF digital audio input/output interfaces, 8 channel far-field PDM digital microphone (DMIC) inputs and a DVP camera interface.
S922X also integrates a set of functional blocks for digital TV broadcasting streams. The built-in two demux can process the TV streams from the serial and parallel transport stream input interface, which can connect to external tuner/demodulator.
The processor has rich advanced network and peripheral interfaces, including a 10/100/1000M Ethernet MAC with RGMII, 10/100M Ethernet PHY, one USB XHCI OTG 2.0 port, one USB3.0 and PCIe
2.0 combo interface and multiple SDIO/SD card controllers, UART, I2C, high-speed SPI and PWMs.
Standard development environment utilizing GNU/GCC Android tool chain is supported. Please contact your AMLOGIC sales representative for more information.
