The DSC21 is a combined DSP and ARM cpu. The Multimedia has a MAS 3587 chip, like the Recorder. I'm not sure if they decode with it too, or only encode/record.

Actually, I believe the MPEG dsp code is stored in the DSC21 ROM.

Texas Instruments, however, requires that you a) are a >10000unit/year manufacturer and b) sign an NDA, to see any kind of data sheets for the DSC21...
