Necessity is the mother of invention. When small portable TVs have to go
digital, small digital portable TVs happen. This press release obviously
focuses on the tuner aspects, but the bigger picture is that the
NTSC/ATSC portable is based on a circuit card that measures 2 3/4" X 4
3/4". Not bad.
No mention of A-VSB here.
Also, interesting to see Nordig and A/74 mentioned together.
(Bad enough when people write "antennae" when they mean "antennas," but
"antenni" is beyond the pale.)

Xceive Debuts the World's Smallest High Definition LCD TV Copy Ready
Design
7-inch high definition TV "Breckenridge" reference design breaks through
performance, size and standards with Xceive's XC5000 tuner.
Santa Clara, Calif. and Computex, TAIWAN - June 5, 2007 - Xceive
Corporation, the market leader in hybrid silicon tuners with proven
success in PC, television and the digital home, today announced its
"Breckenridge" reference design for small screen and transportable
hybrid televisions. Xceive will demonstrate the world's smallest high
definition television this week at the Computex tradeshow in Taipei.
Xceive's XC5000, the premium hybrid silicon tuner for the television
market, is integrated in a 7-inch, 16:9 television screen capable of
receiving all 18 ATSC formats or NTSC signals either via terrestrial or
cable, in an ultra-small footprint. The high definition television main
board size dimensions are approximately 2.75 by 4.75 inches.
"The small form factor of this 7-inch high definition television clearly
presents huge challenges both in size and performance from inexpensive
antenni," said Robert Lin, general manager of MStar China. "The XC5000
chip from Xceive solves both problems by providing an incredibly small
7mm by 7mm form factor that provides performance improvements that
compensate for the weaker, smaller antennae."
With the inclusion of Xceive's XC5000 chip, the designer gains access to
a myriad of important television TV tuner advances that provide benefits
including:
Small form factor: Allows for additional board size reduction and cost
savings
Counteracts VSB challenges: Any TV using Xceive's XC5000 is capable of
up to 100 percent more coverage area of reception versus many premium
can tuners
Best reception with small antenna: Superior performance over premium can
tuners enable small, less expensive antenni to be used effectively with
minimal TV performance impact
Meets and exceeds industry standards: A/74, Nordig 1.0.2 and OpenCable
Lower BOM: The industry's most integrated silicon tuner solution that
includes all SAW filters as well as video and sound IF that enables a
high quality output
QuickTune: Ultra fast channel scanning capabilities
"Xceive and this System-on-a-Chip partner are enabling a new class of
television products not seen in the industry prior to our technologies
being employed together," said Neil Mitchell, vice president of
marketing, Xceive Corporation. "With this 'Breckenridge' reference
design we expect to see customers reach the marketplace with solutions
based on this platform this year."
The XC5000 is the world's most highly integrated silicon TV tuner
specifically designed for flat panel televisions. This next-generation
tuner offers state-of-the-art performance where both analog and digital
reception is required. The XC5000 is the only hybrid global TV tuner
with an on-board DSP controller. This unique architecture achieves
world-class tuner performance for all major analog and digital broadcast
television standards.
