3 System On Chip (SoC) The Cisco CAV10242 is designed around the Broadcom BCM7449S. The BCM7449S SoC provides dual-core ARM B15 CPUs, and supports Ultra High Definition TV (UHDTV) with native 4Kx2Kp60, 10-bit native decode and display. The BCM7449S provides advanced 3D graphics processing. Multimedia over Cable Alliance (MoCA) is integrated in the BCM7449S.

The following sections provide details of the features and functionality of the BCM7449S as supported in the Cisco CAV10242.

3.1 Video Decoder The Cisco CAV10242 provides decoder support for the following formats*:

• H.265/HEVC Main Profile and Main 10 Profile • VP9 8b • H.264/AVC MVC • VC-1 Advanced Profile @ Level 3 • VC-1 Simple and Main Profile • MPEG-2 Main Profile @ Low Level, Main Level, and High Level • MPEG-4 Part 2 Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile • DivX 3.11, 4.1, 5.X, and 6.X • AVS1-P2 Jizhun Profile @ Level 6.0 • AVS+ Broadcast Profile • MPEG-1 • H.263 Profile 0, Level 70 • Intra-coded still picture decode for all supported formats • VP8 • RV9/10 • Sorenson Spark • VP6

The Cisco CAV10242 can decode HEVC or VP9 streams with resolutions up to 3840x2160 at 60 fps.

HEVC support includes Main10 Profile, which allows support for 10-bit pixel data or any combination of 8/9/10-bit pictures.

*Decoder support of some formats may require additional development and licensing.

3.4 Audio The Cisco CAV10242 is capable of decoding two independent inputs that can be any of the following formats:



• AAC-LC (ISO/IEC 13818-7). Input can be up to 5.1 channels with one coupling channel (dependent or independent) and up to 288 kbps per-channel. Output is downmixed to two channels. Supported sampling rates are 16 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz. Both ADTS and ADIF formats are supported.

• AAC-LC+SBR (ISO/IEC 13818-7, 14496-3:2001/AMD1, also known as HE-AAC, aacPlus, AAC-SBR, AAC-he). High efficiency AAC level 4 (5.1 channels), and low power SBR tool. Up to 288 kbps per channel. Supported sampling rates are 16 kHz, 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz.

• AC4 • Dolby Digital Plus • Dolby Digital (ATSC-A52/a). Input can be up to 5.1 channels. Output is downmixed to two channels. All

sample rates and all bit rates are supported. • MPEG-1 (ISO/IEC-11172-3) Layer 1, 2, 3 (MP3). Input is 2.0 channels. All sample rates and bit rates are

supported except for the free bit rate. • Dolby MS-10 • Dolby MS-11 • Dolby MS-12

4 Content Acquisition Front End

The Cisco CAV10242 utilizes a Broadcom BCM3383 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 front-end that shares its QAM demodulators between DOCSIS and video. The BCM3383’s integrated Full Band Capture (FBC) front-end removes all MSO channel lineup limitations and provides the most flexible, deployment friendly solution possible by providing a FBC window that can utilize any channel in the downstream spectrum. By sharing Video and DOCSIS QAMs the CAV10242 is able to provide additional video features and higher DOCSIS performance in a smaller footprint than discrete solutions. The CAV10242 can allocate 4 QAM demodulators for video capture providing a main display, picture-in-picture, and fast channel change functionality (up and down channels) while allocating the remaining 4 QAM demodulators for DOCSIS 3.0 functionality such as DSG, Metadata, or Video over DOCSIS.
