"Broadcom has announced what it claims to be the industry's first high-definition (HD) digital TV silicon solution designed on 65nm node that supports full 1080p display resolution.The Broadcom BCM3563 is described as the television industry's first complete system-on-a-chip solution that supports full HD 1080p display resolution. The new device is compatible with the National Television Systems Committee (NTSC) analog standard, the North American digital terrestrial or Advanced Television Committee (ATSC) digital standard and the digital cable television standard.
In addition, the company said the new chip supports picture-in-picture (PIP) and picture-by-picture display modes. As a result, the BCM3563 is a highly integrated HDTV solution that combines the functionality of a complete 1080p resolution television on a single chip.
"The competition in large screen HDTV sets is driving the demand for 1080p display resolution," said Michelle Abraham, principal analyst at In-Stat. "By expanding its product offering to support this increasing market, Broadcom continues to offer television manufacturers a migration path to the full HD 1080p segment."
Full HD1080p is considered the highest quality video display standard for HDTV, offering a display resolution of 1920×1080, or over two million pixels. Consumer equipment manufacturers are currently deploying high quality 1080p display resolution in HD televisions, DVD players and video gaming equipment.
The new Broadcom "television-on-a-chip" enables consumer electronics manufacturers to build complete lines of affordable high-definition 1080p televisions that feature superior picture, sound and graphics support, whether the content is analog or digital, the company said.
In addition, Broadcom's implementation of 65nm technology allows for the integration of substantially more features, improved performance and reduced overall power consumption, resulting in a lower total system cost for equipment manufacturers."
