ChangHong Selects NXP Solution for its AVS-compliant IP STB Platform

(Business News & Technology News, 20 Mar 2008)

ChangHong has selected NXP Semiconductors' latest highly-integrated, low-cost set-top box (STB) solution, the STB222, to deliver AVS-compliant IP STB platform to manufacturers and Pay TV operators in Asia. ChangHong provides the AVS (Audio Video Coding Standard) decoder technology to enable high-quality video over IP networks to deliver a better viewing experience for consumers through the enjoyment of services such as video-on-demand, recording and pausing live TV, and enhanced interactive services.

A flexible, advanced platform targeting IP, digital TV and hybrid set-top boxes, the STB222 supports advanced video standards, including MPEG-4AVC, H264, VC-1 and MPEG-2. The optional HDMI support also enables standard-definition (SD) content to be up-scaled to 1080p. The STB222's dual channel support allows you to easily create hybrid IP STB solutions, combining the IP channel with terrestrial, satellite or cable DVB reception.

NXP's STB222 integrates the latest security and conditional access (CA) features to help secure PVR applications and operator specific CA schemes. As such, secure boot, unique ID and secure key handling are implemented on the STB222, along with decryption standards such as AES, DES, 3DES, DVB-CSA and Multi2. The STB222 also includes a wide range of connectivity options including Ethernet for IP based video services, PC connectivity or in-home networking, as well as USB2.0 and SATA to support external or internal hard disk drives (HDD) for PVR applications, as also other peripherals.
