  This paper presents some experiments regarding applications development on
high performance media processors included in Philips Nexperia Family. The
PNX1302 dedicated DVB-T kit used has some limitations. Our work has succeeded
to overcome these limitations and to make possible a general-purpose use of
this kit. For exemplification two typical applications, important both for
multimedia and DVB, are analyzed: MPEG2 video stream decoding and MP3 audio
decoding. These original implementations are compared (in speed, memory
requirements and costs) with Philips Nexperia Library.
