Tcom&dtvro Co., Ltd. Announces Release of Next Generation Hardware decoder
based H.264 IP Set-Top Box, TD530
SEOUL, Korea --(Business Wire)-- March 7, 2005
Tcom&dtvro Co., Ltd. today announced the introduction of
one of the industry's first hardware decoder based H.264 IP Set-top
box (STB), TD530, offering a feature rich, interoperable IPTV STB
solution, enabling advanced interactive multimedia applications such

markets. New H.264 solution will satisfy major Telcos and ISPs who
have been waiting for finding better ways to deliver video and audio
of sufficient quality through smaller and smaller pipes -- bandwidth.
"We are pleased to offer hardware decoding H.264 base box for the
first time to the market. Our customers come to us for fully
integrated IP set top solutions that incorporate the latest features
and functionality. Our solution is a seamless migration. Right now, it
is MPEG-2 base but when time comes, it will upgrade to H.264 base to
meet market need for a high rate of compression. While maintaining the
same infrastructure, the same box, the same management system, there
will be no need for additional training for staffs. It will enable our
co-ops to achieve greater efficiency and better serve their own
customers," marketing director, Gavin Kim explains.
Resolution and bandwidth requirements are key issues within the IP
TV sector. The power of the Tcom&dtvro's H.264 solution allows Mpeg-2
quality video and audio streaming over 1.5Mbps connection,
significantly reducing bandwidth requirement from 4Mpbs to 1.5Mpbs
while subscribers enjoy the same quality of Mpeg-2 streaming.
"H.264 engine enabled set-top box benefits everyone," says
Tcom&dtvro's CEO and president, Young-Min Kim. "Subscribers get
quicker interactive feedback, better quality of multimedia rich
content, Operators and service providers achieve less bandwidth
requirement and benefit from increased customer satisfaction and
reduced costs, it's a classic win-win," he says.
Tcom&dtvro's will begin delivering TD530 to one of the major
Telcos for a trial service at the end of March 2005.
TD530 will be on NAB show and available for a live demonstration.
