Broadcom drives new prospects for set-top boxes
Broadcom Corporation has introduced two new system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices for entry-level satellite set-top boxes (STBs). Broadcom’s BCM7364 and BCM7399 direct broadcast satellite chips are engineered with the advanced high-efficiency video codec (HEVC) standard to enable satellite operators to deliver more channels of HD content to a broader subscriber base over existing network infrastructure.
“With the launch of today’s entry-level satellite chipsets, Broadcom is proliferating HEVC across an entire range of STBs. By providing multiple deployment options, Broadcom supports customer requirements to quickly drive video compression technology into the market and efficiently deliver a high-quality user experience from entry-level client devices to high-end STB gateways,” said Rich Nelson, Broadcom Senior Vice-President – Marketing, Broadband Communications Group.
With integrated support for the HEVC compression standard, the new SoCs deliver high-quality 1080p60 HD content at up to 50 per cent of the bandwidth required today.
Broadcom’s portfolio of HEVC entry-level satellite chipsets are currently sampling.
