Introduction to Business Unit Multimedia
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe's Business Unit Multimedia, based near Frankfurt, Germany, focuses on advanced multimedia products for digital TV, set-top boxes, and graphic display controllers. The unit supports applications in car navigation and industrial sectors, with Fujitsu being a key global supplier in multimedia, telecommunications, mobile communications, and automotive markets.

Business Unit Multimedia at FME
The unit provides single-package solutions for digital satellite television, MPEG-2 decoders for set-top boxes, single-chip MPEG-2 encoders, and graphic display controllers. The Frankfurt development center designs and supports these solutions, with the SmartMPEG product notably reducing system costs for set-top boxes.

Front-End for Digital Satellite Television
The MB86A15 is a highly integrated single-chip solution for digital satellite broadcasting, combining a tuner, QPSK demodulator, and Forward Error Correction Unit. It is optimized for DVB-S and DSS transmissions, offering reduced size, power consumption, and cost.

MPEG-2 Decoder for Digital Television
The SmartMPEG (MB86H2x) is designed for medium- and low-end set-top box applications, featuring MPEG-2 video and audio decoding, a 32-bit RISC CPU, and multiple transport stream decoders.

MPEG-2 Encoder
The MB86391 MPEG-2 encoder integrates video, audio, and system encoders, supporting MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encoding, NTSC and PAL formats, with applications in video distribution systems, digital video recorders, and surveillance systems.

Graphic Display Controllers
Fujitsu's graphic display controllers, such as MB86290A 'Cremson' and MB86291A 'Scarlet', are optimized for embedded systems like car navigation and mobile terminals, supporting 2D/3D rendering and high-performance graphics operations.
