Entropic to Address System-on-a-Chip HEVC Compression Solutions at the Advanced Television Roundtable
September 27 2013 - 8:00AM
Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions
for the connected home, today announced its participation on the
Advanced Television Roundtable titled 'HEVC (High-Efficiency Video
Codec) and 4K in a Multiscreen World.' The half-day event in London
builds on the excitement and focus on HEVC/4K technologies at the
recent IBC 2013 Exhibition earlier this month.
Offering the silicon perspective, Entropic's Vice President of
Sales for Europe, Middle East and India, Noel McKenna, will discuss
how HEVC-enabled silicon solutions can improve performance for
UltraHD set-top boxes (STB) and other connected home multiscreen
devices. The shift to 4K, which allows broadcasters to transmit a
signal that is approximately four times the resolution of 1080p,
requires new compression technology, such as HEVC, to be included
in next-generation STB chipset solutions. With HEVC-enabled
chipsets, Pay-TV operators can leverage HEVC's compression
advancements to lower bandwidth demands yet still deliver more
content without sacrificing picture quality. Additionally,
HEVC-chipsets deliver higher-quality video without adding extra
costs associated with the higher bandwidth demands of 4K.
"As we saw at IBC 2013, there is strong global market interest
and enthusiasm for 4K, which will require new consumer electronics
devices that support high-quality HEVC playback," said Noel
McKenna. "Advanced Television's panel is timely and presents an
opportunity to show how silicon providers, as well as others in the
connected home value-chain, can work together to deliver 4K content
to UltraHD TVs in the home – in both cost- and bandwidth-efficient
delivery methods."
The 'HEVC and 4K in a Multiscreen World' panel will be a taped
session on Friday, September 27, 2013, and will air online via the
Advanced Television website. Panel highlights will also be captured
in the January/February 2014 edition of Euromedia, which will be
distributed at CSTB Moscow, CabSat Dubai and Cable Congress.
