STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, will be demonstrating its latest set-top-box (STB) system-on-chips (SoCs) designed to enable the region’s cable, satellite, IPTV, and terrestrial operators to deliver market-leading capabilities for next-generation products at CommunicAsia 2015, Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center, June 2-5, 2015.
The proliferation of digital content and services has prompted ASEAN governments to mandate transitions to digital TV before 2020. At the same time TV manufacturers are actively promoting the Ultra-High-Definition experience. As a leading technology provider, ST covers the full range of digital-home applications, including HD hybrid broadcast/broadband zapper and PVR boxes and Ultra-High-Definition home-media servers and gateways, to meet the demands of this on-going transition in South Asia.
With the highest image quality, ST solutions greatly improve the level of end-user experience when accessing linear and on-demand Pay TV services, as well as satisfy surging consumer demand for high-speed data services such as Ultra-HD, multi-screen video streaming, gaming, file sharing, and home security.
At CommunicAsia 2015, ST will showcase a large number of demos including:
• Multi-decode – Multi-screen – Ultra High Definition, demonstrated on the STiH418 SoC, enables satellite, cable, and IPTV PayTV operators to offer premium content to users with cost-efficient solutions that support content consumption anywhere.
