[opendtv] Zoran, Thomson team on digital TV reference design

Maybe I'm just being too impatient.

Also, it looks like A/74 is in fact doing what
Sinclair wanted the FCC to do: establish a set
of minimum receiver performance requirements.
Not a bad start, as far as I'm concerned.

MANHASSET, N.Y. - Zoran Corp. and the Thomson Tuner
Group have developed a digital-to-analog reference
design that enables CRT makers to integrate, decode,
and display digital television feeds compliant with
the A-74 standard set by the ATSC committee.

The design is based on Zoran's (Sunnyvale, Calif.)
SupraHD 640 digital television processor and Cascade
2 demodulator, and the ATSC tuner from Thomson
(Paris, France).

The reference design can also be used by set-top box
manufacturers to quickly build converter boxes that
enable existing analog TV sets to receive digital
terrestrial broadcast stations. The design includes
advanced development tools and a royalty-free
operating system.

"Thomson is committed to the United States market
and hence it was important to launch tuner products
to meet guidelines as laid out in the A-74
recommendations by the ATSC," said Fabrice Corbin,
marketing manager of Thomson Tuner Div., in a
statement. "Our collaboration focused tremendously
on guaranteeing reliable reception."
