STMicroelectronics Begins Shipping Next-Generation Ultra-HDp60 STB Chips
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Quad-core SoCs reach lead customers with HEVC 10-bit resolution and VP9
Geneva, January 6, 2015 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor
leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has
begun delivering to lead customers its latest Ultra-HDp60 quad-core system-on-
chip ICs (STiH314/318 and STiH414/418), part of its well-established and
accepted Cannes/ Monaco family. Several major equipment OEMs have already
selected these SoCs for next-generation Ultra-HD products.
"The consumer market for Ultra HD is ready to take off," said Philippe Notton,
Group Vice President and General Manager, Consumer Product Division,
STMicroelectronics. "And these high-performing, power-efficient and
competitively priced system-on-chip ICs now give ST customers the edge in this
exciting, promising market."
The key performance capabilities of these chipsets include the following use
cases:
* Decoding of Ultra-HD HEVC (at) 60 frames/sec with 10-bit color depth streams
from all main video-encoder providers and displayed on the latest-generation
HDMi2.0 (at) 6Gbps;
* Implementation of Ultra-HD p60 RDK client optimizing distribution of high-
quality 4K video throughout the whole home via pre-integration of up to
4x4 802.11ac Wi-Fi;
* Delivering the latest Android L version, which benefits from ST's ARM-based
CPU/GPU's and supports all the features provided by Google TV;
* Supporting live feeds alongside user-friendly features such as fast channel
change (FCC) & transcoding, via numerous third-party middleware;
* Forensic watermarking, building on advanced Conditional Access (CA) and
Digital Rights Management (DRM) support, raises the bar in High value
Ultra-HD content protection and complies with MovieLabs latest requirements;
and
* A High Dynamic Range (HDR) prototype that delivers darker darks and brighter
whites with smooth transitions from highlights to shadows, contributing to
the stunning impact of 4K content.
These quad-core SoCs are software and pin compatible with the other members of
the Cannes (STiH31x) and Monaco (STiH41x) families. This allows customers to
reuse their development efforts across the entire family and manage a smooth
transition between Full HD and Ultra-HD installations while leveraging a large
ecosystem of middleware and 3(rd)-party applications.
