COLOGNE, Germany, June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ANGA
COM -- Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global
innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless
communications, today announced a satellite set-top box (STB)
solution that delivers a boost in performance, lower power and
support for the new DVB-S2X broadcast standard.1
The new BCM45308 system-on-a-chip (SoC) device integrates Full Band
Capture (FBC) technology to provide satellite operators with more
efficient video and IP service distribution to subscribers'
connected devices throughout the home. For more news, visit
Broadcom's Newsroom.
The Broadcom BCM453xx Series dramatically simplifies system
design and cost by integrating dual FBC Analog Digital Converters
(ADCs) and up to eight demodulators in a single chip. The inclusion
of FBC technology and DVB-S2X demodulators allows operators to
digitize the entire 250-2350 MHz spectrum and provide flexible
bandwidth deployment and tuning function in the digital domain,
which enables a drastic reduction of tuner area and power. Remote
diagnostics capabilities provided by FBC technology saves operators
costly on-site customer visits and pairs with FastRTV®
technology to provide quick channel change regardless of
frequency.
"The benefits of Full Band Capture paired with the newest
broadcast standard for satellite television continue Broadcom's
efforts to provide operators with the most advanced products to
benefit consumers," said Nicholas
Dunn, Broadcom Vice President of Direct Broadcast Satellite
Marketing. "With the push to offer Ultra HD/4K programming,
the added benefits of the S2X extensions, especially with channel
bonding, will enable operators to better utilize their available
bandwidth to deliver these additional services to their
subscribers."
The latest DVB-S2X satellite standard offers improved operating
range and performance in direct-to-home (DTH) satellite markets to
cover additional subscriber deployments and business applications.
The BCM453xx Series supports all new DVB-S2X coding rates,
modulation schemes, channel bonding and sharper roll off factors to
improve efficiency on transponder bandwidth.
The BCM453xx Series of devices are ball compatible to Broadcom's
BCM452xx DVB-S2 Series of devices to provide a very quick and easy
upgrade path to support the S2X standard.
