MUMBAI:Broadcom Corporation has announced that it will be providing its BCM7252 high efficiency video codec (HEVC) H.265 system-on-chip (SoC) to Tata Sky.This will be utilised in the DTH operator’s Ultra HD set top boxes (STBs).
Tata Sky and Technicolor have teamed up to
design and deploy its 4K STBs by 2015.
Broadcom's HEVC-enabled chipsets provide the
compression and high-throughput required by
operators and OEMs to rapidly introduce Ultra
HD subscriber hardware and content. The
Broadcom BCM7252 Ultra HD SoC improves
coding efficiency and reduces video bandwidth
usage by 50 per cent.
"We are committed to delivering an innovative
and world class TV viewing experience. With
the arrival of HEVC technology, our subscribers
will soon be some of the first in the region to
experience the live-action quality that only
Ultra HD can provide," said Tata Sky MD and
CEO Harit Nagpal. "As Ultra HD TVs continue
to become more affordable and Ultra HD
content becomes more widely available, we
anticipate increased subscriber demand for
Ultra HD-capable set top boxes."
“Technicolor is at the forefront of Ultra HD,
working to enhance the Ultra HD experience
on all screens by providing content
preparation and 4K image certification for high
quality STBs and video gateways. By leveraging
Broadcom's advanced Ultra HD devices with
integrated HEVC compression technology, we
can deliver 4K resolution at a frame rate of 60
frames-per-second while substantially reducing
the bandwidth required for video transmission,
and providing the advanced features and
capabilities needed to enable the ultimate
home viewing experience,” said Technicolor
Connected Home Division senior vice president
APAC Georges Laplanche.
"As consumer interest in Ultra HD continues to
grow, Broadcom is delivering advanced devices
with market-specific features and price points
that allow consumers to enjoy an enhanced
viewing experience regardless of their
geography," said Broadcom senior vice
president marketing BCG Rich Nelson.
"Broadcom continues to demonstrate its
commitment to furthering the Ultra HD
ecosystem across the globe, providing the
innovation required by our customers to drive
this technology quickly into the market,
particularly as lower-cost Ultra HD TVs drive
consumer awareness."
Key Features of the BCM7252 Ultra HD SoC
• High-performance dual-core Brahma15
10000 DMIPs ARMv7 processors
• 2180p60 or dual 1080p60 decode and
transcode capabilities
• Integrated connectivity peripherals
including USB 3.0, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet and
MoCA 2.0
• Highest level of platform security, content
protection and DRM robustness
• Dual display allowing presentation of two
simultaneous video channels from the same
STB via independent HDMI outputs and remote
control devices
• Dedicated interfaces to a range of
Broadcom companion front end cable, DOCSIS,
satellite and 802.11ac Wi-Fi devices http://www.indiantelevision.com/technology/hardware/set-top-boxes/broadcom-to-supply-hevc-soc-for-tata-sky-ultra-hd-stbs-140728
