MS1824 Multi-Function Video Processor
The MacroSilicon MS1824 is a multi-function video processor that extends the MS1823 architecture with twelve 10-bit ADC channels and a 32-bit digital video input/output interface. Beyond analog video processing, it supports BT656/BT601/BT1120 and 16/24-bit RGB/YUV digital ports.
It retains dual independent playback engines and the full video enhancement pipeline, making it suitable for embedded display and video processing designs that require mixed analog and digital interfaces.
