FIRST PRIZE

CD Player with Video Output to a TV

Using the DMA channel of an M16C/62P microcontroller, this ingenious project harnesses the microcontroller’s processing power to generate video signals without dedicated video hardware. The microcontroller is directly connected to an Atapi CD-ROM player. This enables audio CDs to play by emulating the IDE bus. The M16C/62P also produces a PAL or NTSC analog RGB color video signal, which is displayed on a television. This display serves as a user-friendly GUI to operate the CD player.
