SoCs take charge of digital TV receivers
Toshiba used last week's Mediacast 2004 as a platform to launch two powerful, compact, and highly integrated ICs for free-to-air and pay-TV digital television applications.
SoC is first with novel nonorthogonal routing
Toshiba has launched the industry's first commercial SoC devices built on the innovative X Architecture design - a new approach to large-scale integration.
The availability of integrated IC platforms is critical to OEMs of products such as set top boxes (STBs), integrated digital televisions (iDTVs) and personal video recorders (PVRs) looking to quickly build devices that meet the transmission requirements of European DTT networks.
Aurora supports the MHEG-5 digital television standard, using Cabot's award-winning Mercator MHEG-5 plug-in.
This is a key element in the delivery of new and emerging interactive TV applications and revenue streams for DTV broadcasters in the UK.
