CrestaTech’s New “HDTV Anywhere” Chip Now Ready for Sampling to PC OEMs
Demonstrated publicly for the first time at this week’s Intel Developer Forum 2009, the CrestaTV™ Universal Broadband Receiver technology combines a programmable RF IC and software that will allow PCs to receive live analog or digital TV broadcast, radio and GPS signals in any city, any region and any country around the world. CrestaTV unleashes unprecedented support for the widest variety of broadband frequencies ever. As a result, for the first time, PC manufacturers can ship the same TV tuner module to Barcelona as they ship to Manhattan or St. Petersburg, ultimately streamlining the design and deployment process and reducing costs of the overall system. And PC users can watch the TV they want wherever they travel, picking up local broadcasts or sportscasts by using embedded GPS capabilities to automatically create local channel guides in their area. “No other chip overcomes the regional and technical limitations of on-the-go TV for PCs like the CrestaTV solution,” said George Haber, CrestaTech president and CEO. “By supporting any TV broadcast standard anywhere, we’re helping turn laptop PCs into truly mobile media centers, where consumers can experience the ubiquity of the Internet with broadcast television at the same time.” Visit CrestaTech's CrestaTV product portal for complete feature details
