Broadcom unveils digital broadcast conversion technology

Broadcom Corporation, a semiconductor solutions provider
for wired and wireless communications, announced its 40nm HD Cross-Platform
Global Digital TV Transport Adapter (DTA) system-on-a-chip (SoC) product
family.

 

By converting TV programming from analog to digital,
Broadcom is paving the way for the expanded network capacity that operators
require in order to deliver more interactive HDTV programming and services
around the globe.  Learn more at Broadcom @ IBC.

 

Pay-TV subscribers in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) markets are projected to reach half a
billion by 2016 with approximately 75 percent on digital platforms.

 

The percentage of cable TV subscribers worldwide
receiving digital signals is expected to grow from 44 percent in 2010 to 79
percent in 2016.

 

The same software design platform can be leveraged to
address multiple pay-TV markets (cable, satellite, terrestrial and hybrid IP)
for lower costs, less complexity and faster time-to-market.

 

Pin-pin is compatible while adding interoperability with
the BCM7358 DVB_S2 HD satellite STB.

 

It reduces energy in the home by lowering power
consumption with an integrated standby power management controller and AVS
(adaptive voltage scaling) technology.

 

With a DTA product family that leverages a single design
platform, Broadcom paves the way for cost-effective and rapid digital TV
transitions in multiple markets, addressing the growth in pay-TV subscribers in
emerging markets,” said Dan Marotta, EVP & GM, Broadband Communications
Group, Broadcom.

 

BCM7542 HD DTA SoC targets ISDB_T broadcasting countries
including Japan and S. American.

 

BCM7552 HD SoC targets DVB deployed countries including
Europe, Southeast Asia and South America.

 

BCM7582 HD DTA SoC targets global cable broadcasting
markets and features advanced security.

 

BCM7592 dual mode HD DTA SoC supports DVB-C, DVB-T and
ISDB-T dual mode HD broadcasting, targeting China, India and developing
countries.
