The Summit is a PCI(Peripheral Component Interconnection) card can support ATSC, NTSC, DVB, Direct TV, OpenCable, and DVD standards and display High Definition(HD) video output format. When receiving Digital TV transmissions the Summit PCI board transfers a 19.4 Mbps demodulated Transport Stream (TS) data to its on-board hardware MPEG2 A/V decoder chip which is equipped with 16 MB of local memory. The MPEG2 A/V decoder chip decodes the selected video and audio programs, and makes the remaining portions of the TS available to the PC's CPU for future processing. The Summit can convert decoded video signal into several display resolutions such as 1080I, 720p, 480p and 480I, and support free scalable output resolutions for overlaying with VGA outputs. Video can be displayed through HD output port for HD display equipment, VGA output port for PC monitor and C-video port for analog NTSC TV set. The Summit supports aspect ratio conversion between 16:9 and 4:3 through letterbox and pan-and-scan mode. The AC-3 digital audio portion of a Digital TV transmission is decoded and passed to the on-board surround sound CODEC for driving the external right/left, surround right/left, center, and woofer speakers using a stereo jack and 8 pin Mini Din. The Summit supports DVD decoding, CSS processing, and sub-picture decoding. The Summit also supports simultaneous recording and playback of transport stream for the time-shifting and recording the video/audio ES, PSI data according to each PIDs. The Summit uses highly integrated MPEG2 A/V decoder. The MPEG2 A/V decoder combines a MPEG2 MP@HL video decoder, an advanced Dolby AC-3 decoder and transport demultiplexor on a single chip to enable cost-effective Digital TV solution for the PC. The Summit can decode all 18 ATSC formats and display video outputs in HD resolution, SD resolution and free scalable output resolutions. 5) Digital TV PCI Add-in Card for SDTV and Computer (Maple) DAWINTech's Maple Reference Design Kit (RDK) enables mass production of Digital TV products on the PC platform immediately. The Maple PCI board RDK makes the design of a PCI-based Digital TV card cost effective and can offer significant time-to-market to Digital TV PC card manufacturer.

The MPEG2 A/V decoder chip decodes the selected video and audio programs, and makes the remaining portions of the TS available to the PC's CPU for future processing. The decoded video is rendered into a 480I format, and passed over the PCI Bus into the display memory of the VGA sub-system. The Maple PCI board interfaces with any PC graphics card through PCI bus. Video can be displayed either by the Maple PCI board through S/C-video ports or by the graphics card directly. The CCIR601 video can be fed into a NTSC encoder to display video on analog TV set. The AC-3 digital audio portion of a Digital TV transmission is decoded and passed to the on-board surround sound CODEC for driving the external front right/left, surround right/left, center, and woofer speakers using a stereo jack and 4 pin Mini Din. The Maple RDK uses highly integrated MPEG2 A/V decoder. The MPEG2 A/V decoder combines a MPEG2 MP @ HL video decoder, an advanced Dolby AC-3 decoder, transport demultiplexer on a single chip to enable cost-effective Digital TV solution for the PC. The Maple PCI board RDK can decode all 18 ATSC formats and display output video in CCIR601 resolution with down-conversion. The Maple PCI board RDK includes a Digital TV PCI card reference board, schematics, Gerber files, Windows 98 WDM driver source codes, and related documents for easy understanding of RDK.
