Digital TV and Set-top Boxes
The conversion from analog to digital broadcast is spurring a new wave of SoC designs for digital television (DTV) and set-top boxes (STBs).The continually decreasing price of system products, coupled with the ever-increasing need for more performance in support of the best possible user experience for content, connectivity and digital rights management, mean developers need embedded processor cores with a wide range of performance points and a rich ecosystem of software support.
MIPS Technologies has the knowledge, products and partner ecosystem to help STB and DTV developers quickly bring differentiated solutions to market.
MIPS® Solutions
With the array of DTV software available for the MIPS architecture, equipment makers can quickly bring new products to market. Software such as audio codecs allows broad use of MIPS cores, simplifying the software development environment. A field-upgradeable platform allows inclusion of evolving standards such as digital rights management, while future-proofing designs. Support ranges from operating systems to middleware packages to Java engines and Java-based environments such as MHP and Tru2Way (OCAP).
Many configurable options allow MIPS cores to be used for the host RTOS, supporting complex user interfaces, DRM, audio and other control functions distributed on various SoC subsystems.
