Background information

Offering reference designs for DVB-T, DVB-S and DVB-T reception, together with a variety of software applications, the STB100 makes it simple for you to create production-ready set-top boxes for digital reception. The solution is highly customizable, allowing you to match your specific application requirements.

With the accent firmly on reducing your time-to-market and design costs, the STB100 is ideal for making low-cost, high quality STBs and a perfect starting point for introducing consumers to digital TV.

The solution incorporates our Nexperia MPEG source decoder PNX8300, highly integrated silicon tuners such as the TDA18211 (or tuner can), TDA8262 or TDA8274, and state-of-the-art channel decoders for terrestrial (TDA10048), satellite (TDA10086) and cable (TDA10023) reception. Whichever option you choose, the comprehensive package also includes a validation board and 3rd-party software stacks with GUI application and UI customization tools.

Ideal for entry-level applications such as free-to-air or pay television, the PNX8300 supports all DVB / MPEG-2 compliant transmissions. It delivers excellent STB performance thanks to its 32-bit MIPS CPU. Furthermore, a dedicated transport RISC-based demultiplexer engine and DVB descrambler meet most DVB pay-TV specifications and leave the CPU free to handle other tasks.
