Mirics Semiconductor and China-based Spreadtrum Communications have announced the availability of an embedded PCTV solution that supports the China Multimedia Mobile Broadcasting (CMMB) mobile digital TV standard.
CMMB is the mobile TV technology backed by China's State Administration for Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). With coverage extending to 150 cities already, SARFT expects CMMB to be supported in 337 Chinese cities by the end of 2009, and have a total population coverage of 500 million by 2011.
The target applications include portable PC platforms such as netbooks.
The announced embedded solution measures 30mm×26.8mm, and has been implemented in the industry standard half mini-card format. The mini-card integrates Mirics' MSi002 FlexiRF silicon tuner and Spreadtrum's SC6600V CMMB demodulator system-on-chip. The solution features all of the CMMB hardware and software required to deliver a ready-to-integrate PCTV package that includes the ability to support conditional access, and has been optimized for BlazeVideo's DTV video player.
The announced PCTV half mini-card platform is now available to lead customers and partners for platform integration.
