The new STiH253 full-featured digital video broadcast chip expands ST's portfolio of interactive digital video (DVR) capabilities, integrating a DVB-T2 demodulator, enabling device manufacturers to develop highly integrated ground set-top boxes. Another new set-top box chip, the STiH271EL, is ideal for low-end and mid-end markets that require entry-level set-top box functionality without compromising video quality.

At the heart of the STMicroelectronics set-top box system-on-a-chip product line is a performance-enhanced processor engine that integrates a rich set of features to improve the design efficiency of the end product. This robust processor engine allows operators to use low-cost memory while meeting the latest low-power targets. ST's set-top box chips support all HD broadcast and multimedia codecs, multimode and IP standards, as well as the latest data security and content protection standards, while integrating middleware stacks from major system vendors.

STMicroelectronics expands opportunities for manufacturers to develop high-definition set-top boxes, PVRs, Internet Protocol (IP) clients and dual-mode HD set-top boxes that support IPTV services, information channels and online video (OTT), gaming, TV and social networks. . The new product enriches ST's existing lineup of general-purpose IP (STiH207), cable/ground HD (STiH273) and satellite HD (STiH237, STiH239) set-top box system-on-a-chip. Product pin and software are fully compatible, enabling OEMs to optimize design resources across multiple customers/operators.

Huang Wei, business director of China's well-known set-top box manufacturer Jiuzhou Electric Co., Ltd. said: "The compatibility of STMicroelectronics set-top box system-level chips is an important advantage for Jiuzhou. This unified model design shortens our research and development cycle and allows us to At the same time, we focus on the multi-mode market for satellite, cable and terrestrial."

Cui Wei, general manager of Digital Media Division of Inspur Group, a well-known set-top box supplier in China, said: “After successful replication of the previously co-operated projects, STMicroelectronics has a highly integrated and high-security HD cable optimized chipset that is well received by the market. The middleware provides seamless support, enabling device vendors to deliver a great user experience for entry-level set-top boxes."

Newcomers to the STMicroelectronics set-top box system-on-a-chip family: STiH253 and STiH271EL, have begun sampling to major customers, and the new series is available in 27x27mm and 23x23mm BGA packages.

ST's latest digital home solutions will be unveiled at the 21st China International Television Broadcasting Information Network Exhibition (CCBN) in Beijing on March 21-23, 2013. STMicroelectronics booth is located at No. 3205, Hall 3, China International Exhibition Center.
