Oak Technology which provides embedded solutions for the digital home entertainment and digital imaging markets has announced that its TL851 Universal Digital TV Decoder and TL811 PVR/STB Controller have been integrated into Funai's latest suite of over-the-air set-top-boxes (STBs).

These STBs feature both Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) and National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) reception and provide component output for high-definition-ready TVs and composite signal output.

An advanced Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides a first-class ease-of-use TV experience for the rapidly growing digital TV market.

An official release informs that as advanced digital TV products continue to reach the broad consumer market, ease-of-use and compelling graphics become the increasingly important competitive differentiators. Oak's TL851 Universal Digital Decoder and TL811 PVR/STB Controller enabled Funai to deliver a product that gives customers both easy-to-use functions and a compelling and engaging Digital TV experience.

The Oak TL851 graphics engine supports high-quality, high-definition flicker-reduced 32 bit OSD and accelerated graphics. This enables Funai to deliver STBs with a rich, crisp and easy-to-use GUI. The TL811 reduces system cost by integrating key external components and providing the core foundation for future product roadmaps with worldwide conditional access capabilities and options enabling families of products with differentiated features.
