The Novatek NT72563 is an SoC specifically designed for use in TVs, such as the Vestel MB211S platform.
A list of features is included in the Vestel 17MB211S service manual. Some of the highlights include:
- 8051 stand-by controller
- dual Cortex-A9 application processor
- lots of video processing hardware
- Mali 400

(Text printed on the serial port when power is applied to an MB211S mainboard)
- Something, presumably the STBC's bootrom code, prints
NOon the serial port - 8051 code begins at address 0x0000, jumps to 0x0086, clears internal RAM
- The main function runs through
- At some point the application processor is started
- The application processor presumably loads a bootloader/OS from NAND flash
A central feature of the SoC is the "stand-by controller", an 8051-based processor that performs I/O and manages the system while the application processor if off.

Reading from code space (movc) is broken: It reads the same bytes that can be found in external space (movx), even though there are addresses which contain code (e.g. b3e5), but instead are in the middle of ASCII strings.
