Broadcom delivers nine new 40nm STB solutions for full resolution 3DTV Internet connected home

2011 International CES, LAS VEGAS, USA: Broadcom Corp. announced nine new cable, satellite and IP set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions that enable multiple ways for consumers to experience the next generation Internet connected home featuring full resolution 3DTV.

Designed in 40 nanometer (nm) CMOS process, all nine of Broadcom's new STB SoC solutions feature high integration, high performance and lower overall system cost.

Broadcom's new technology features a high performance application processor, support for Internet-based whole-home connectivity applications and services, and support for full resolution HD 3DTV capabilities (including MPEG H.264 scalable and multiview video coding (SVC/MVC) standards, and an OpenGL ES 2.0 3D graphics processing unit (GPU) for advanced 3D graphics).

Broadcom also provides extensive application libraries that enable rich Internet-based TV experiences using widely adopted industry standards, as well as support for the proliferation of high definition and 3DTV video content and web-based services.

By sharing common core architectures, each new STB platform enables consumer electronics manufacturers and service providers to quickly and more easily develop software and hardware solutions that can be leveraged across a wide range of devices. Broadcom's new STB SoCs will be demonstrated at this week's International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
