The
new Broadcom multi-format, HD STB SoC solution,
with digital video recording (DVR) capabilities,
enables manufacturers to build next-generation
cable, satellite and IPTV HD STBs that support
the Chinese STB market.
Coship,
the STB solution provider in China, is currently
developing next-generation STBs (N8603 and
N8606) that use Broadcom's new HD STB SoC
solution, and will provide Chinese consumers
with HD viewing, the latest interactive
features and a range of video compression
standards.
The
Coship N8603 will also include networked
PVR functionality. These advanced capabilities
and services will allow the Chinese viewing
audience to have more control and flexibility
when watching their favourite television
shows and for upcoming sporting events during
the Summer Olympic Games in August.
Coship
Electronics CEO Bright Yuan says, "We
are very pleased to be working with Broadcom
to deliver high definition and advanced
functionality, such as PVR, to China's TV
market. In conjunction with the development
of the digital TV industry and the upcoming
Olympics, we hope to bring advanced high
definition STB products, value-added services
with richer functions, and a better user
experience to the Chinese television market."
According to In-Stat market research, China's
STB market is rapidly growing, and by partnering
with China's foremost supplier of STB products,
Broadcom is ideally suited to expand its
portfolio into this promising market.
