- MxL541C brings Full-Spectrum Capture™
features, low power draw and Unicable support to next-generation
Evobox set-top boxes
MaxLinear, Inc. (NYSE:MXL), a leading provider of radio
frequency (RF), analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for the
connected home, wired and wireless infrastructure, and industrial
and multimarket applications, today announced Cyfrowy Polsat,
Poland’s leading satellite TV service provider, has selected the
MxL541C for its new Evobox HD set-top boxes (STB), the latest
product in its Evobox product line, which has been successfully
implemented since 2016.
The MxL541C is a four-channel satellite receiver and Evobox HD
STB makes use of the device’s very low power consumption and its
Unicable support for easy installation. The receiver features
Full-Spectrum Capture™ (FSC™) functionality that provides fast
channel change, a feature that reduces channel tuning to less than
half a second on average compared to three to four seconds on most
existing high definition (HD) satellite STBs. The Evobox HD also
includes Dolby audio sound and a Wi-Fi capability for over-the-top
(OTT) services, including HBO GO and the company’s own Cyfrowy
Polsat GO. An intuitive user interface makes it easy to find
content and to schedule viewing.
“The expansion of our Evobox product line gives us the ability
to better meet the needs of our customers who want a full
complement of satellite programming and additional OTT and video on
demand services,” said Dariusz Działkowski, Management Board Member
for Technology of Cyfrowy Polsat. “MaxLinear is an excellent
technology partner and its MxL541C device brings important features
that our customers appreciate.”
“Evobox has been a big success for Cyfrowy Polsat. It’s great to
be their partner in these new products,” said Will Torgerson, Vice
President and General Manager, MaxLinear Broadband Group. “The
MxL541C is one of MaxLinear’s scalable front-end ICs that enables
leading satellite pay-TV operators like Cyfrowy Polsat to deploy
feature-rich services to their subscribers with minimal capital
expenditures.”
Technical Highlights – MxL541C
The MxL541C FSC satellite receiver supports a single satellite
RF input ranging from 950MHz – 2150MHz, with four DVB-S2/S
satellite demodulators and flexible transport stream outputs.
The MxL541C supports Unicable installations, which simplifies
the home installation process for significantly reduced deployment
costs. The device integrates DiSEqC 2.0 and FSK control interfaces
to enable STBs to be connected to a wide range of satellite
low-noise block (LNB) down converters, including universal,
Unicable, SatCR and digital channel stacking switch (dCSS)
LNBs.
The MxL541C device comes in a low-cost 10mm x 10mm QFN package
and is currently shipping in mass production. The MxL541C is
pin-compatible and software compatible with MaxLinear’s MxL581C
which supports up to eight satellite tuners. This enables flexible
set-top box designs that can support different tuner configurations
with common hardware and software.
