Sigma Designs demonstrates IPTV set-top box
Sigma Designs will be demonstrating its Docsis 3.0 multi channel and tru2way set-top box at the NCTA Cable Show 2008, which is being held in New Orleans between 18th and 20th May.
Headquartered in California, Sigma Designs produces digital media processing system-on-a-chip solutions for consumer electronics, leveraging Texas Instruments field-proven cable TV technology and VividLogic’s comprehensive tru2way software for set-top boxes and cable TV ready HDTVs.
The company’s expertise in the Telco IPTV set-top box market supports IP-Cable STBs and HDTV manufacturers, offering consumers more competitive choices in home entertainment.
Texas Instruments developed the Puma-5 Docsis 3.0 based chipset used in the Sigma Designs set-top box.
VividLogic developed the Open Cable Host (OCHD 2.0) based tru2way middleware that includes OCAP, MCARD, DSG, IEEE-1394, DVR and other OCHD 2.0 components, being ported to run on the Sigma Designs’ SMP8634 media processor.
Optimised for triple play and next generation IP services, TI’s Puma 5 family has been developed to support Docsis 3.0 enhanced performance and features.
New features such as channel bonding enable ultra high downstream bandwidth rates of at least 160 Mbps in the residential data and voice services configuration.
In addition, the solution offers 320 Mbps in video and business services configuration.
Sigma is an undoubted leader in global IPTV services, with an estimated 80% of the set-top boxes in the world containing its SMP8634 semiconductor chip.
