(firmenpresse) - SAO PAOLO, BRAZIL -- (Marketwire) -- 08/09/11 -- Sigma Designs (NASDAQ: SIGM), the world leader in connected media platforms, today demonstrated a full line of hybrid IP set-top box solutions for cable, satellite and the Brazilian International Standard Digital Broadcast - Television (ISDB-T), also called SBTVD. These solutions will help service providers deliver the best combination of broadcast services over cable, satellite or terrestrial with Sigma's world renowned IP-optimized media processors. This is the first time Sigma Designs will demonstrate a hybrid solution of ISDB-T in Brazil. The demonstrations are taking place at ABTA, the leading TV exhibition at the Transamerica Expo Center in Sao Paolo - Booth C7.
ISDB-T, the government-mandated technical standard for digital TV broadcast, is fast becoming a must-have feature in Brazil. Sigma Designs will demonstrate a complete ISDB-T solution. For cable service providers, Sigma Designs is showing an Android-based DVB-C solution that supports full browser capabilities and full cable broadcast performance. The company will also show its new media processor, the SMP8670, running Skype video. TMCNet recently named this media processor a Cable Spotlight Product of the Year. For satellite providers, Sigma Designs will show a DVB-S set top box running IP video, such as YouTube, as well as satellite channels.
"Customers clearly want OTT content and they want it on the 'big screen,'" said David Lynch, General Manager of the Media Processor Business for Sigma Designs. "Now, for the first time, we've created technology that enables service providers to deliver the highest performing broadcast and IP video and interactive services all from the leader in IPTV -- Sigma Designs."
Sigma will demonstrate multiple solutions for the first time in Latin America at ABTA 2011 including:
