This may be good news from Samsung. Perhaps they will offer an STB
version.
Samsung VSB DTC Chip to Work in Harsh Environments
As noted in last week's RF Report, electronics manufacturers are showing
increased interest in the ATSC tuner market. Last Wednesday Samsung Electronics
introduced its S5H1406 DTV receiver chip, which it claimed establishes "a new
standard for terrestrial (VSB) and cable (QAM) digital TV broadcasting
performance." The Samsung press release said the chip "enables digital TV
receivers to acquire and track signals in harsh environments such as multi-path
channel conditions, dynamic conditions with multiple signal variations and
where the overall receiving capability is weak."
The chip includes an advanced demodulator and synchronization detector as
well as a higher performance equalizer and forward error correction. Samsung
said that in independent field tests, the S5H1406 "succeeded in acquiring and
tracking the signals of five domestic terrestrial digital TV broadcasts.
The S5H1406 complements the Samsung' S5H2200 dual MPEG-2 decoder and CPU
with "Digital Natural Image engine," Samsung's proprietary image improvement
technology.
Dojun Rhee, vice president of the Samsung ElectronicsSoC R&D center said,
"With the highly-integrated SoC device for digital TV we introduced last year,
Samsung now offers a total solution in the digital TV area, from broadcast
reception to image playback and image quality enhancement."
