Breakthrough terrestrial digital TV chip is expected to reduce product prices

Yesterday, the terrestrial digital TV GB makers Legend Silicon announced in Beijing, Legend Silicon has introduced the first domestic single-chip dual-mode GB chip, compared to the previous chip by two national standard for terrestrial digital TV chips, the new single-chip mode is expected greatly reduce the set-top boxes, TV-One, USB TV Sticks terrestrial digital TV product prices.

Lin Yang, chairman of information technology, according to Ling said the Chinese terrestrial digital TV as the national standard by Tsinghua University and LM2904MX datasheet and Shanghai Jiaotong University, a combination of two programs, the Beijing area in the current pilot of the terrestrial digital television signals, some of the channels to the Tsinghua University programs, while others plan to take Shanghai Jiaotong University, so in order to support both dual-mode technology to chip, two chips to be integrated at the same time, so costs are higher.

Yang Lin also said that the national standard in single-chip, the terrestrial digital TV GB chip is expected to reduce 50% of overall costs, and LM2904MX price and shorten the production cycle. Currently the chip has been manufactured to the SMIC is expected in April will be able to mass production. Meanwhile, the Legend has also been to and LM2904MX suppliers and including Hisense, Changhong, TCL, Konka, Samsung and other major television companies reached an agreement, these companies were launched in April-May target support for terrestrial digital TV-One TV products.

Previously, SARFT Beijing on January 1 pilot, 7 sets of terrestrial digital TV broadcasts, is planning to include Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenyang, Qingdao, Qinhuangdao, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and 7 cities in the free areas of terrestrial digital television pilot . The Yang Lin disclosed that after the free digital terrestrial television after the scope and content-rich, terrestrial digital TV terminals price will be gradually reduced.
