The CL-PX1070 digital video processor (DVP) provides a powerful, cost-effective bridge between computer graphics and video images. The CL-PX1070 is ideal for realtime digital video processing, video teleconferencing, video-playback acceleration, and video capture.

It's a low-cost version of the CL-PX2070. The main differences between the two chips are:

  • CL-PX1070 supports one video display window; CL-PX2070 supports four
  • CL-PX1070 supports three object buffers; CL-PX2070 supports eight
