Support for the Multimedia Home Platform (MHP), the Adobe Flash® Platform for TV and the RVU Alliance's pixel accurate Remote User Interface (RUI) technology that allows an identical user experience on multiple devices
A broad array of time-to-market web-based connected home STB software applications environments including Adobe Flash® Platform for TV, Webkit HMTL 5.0, Java, Nokia's Qt Framework including QtWebkit, DLNA 1.5, and DirectFB application libraries
Unique HD FastRTV™ channel change acceleration technology that improves channel change speeds by up to 500 percent
Support for Energy Star® and European Code of Conduct compliant
Full-Resolution HD 3DTV Set-Top Box SoC Solution Produced in 40 nanometer (nm) process technology, the BCM7424 is a high definition (HD) full-resolution 3DTV set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC) solution designed for residential video gateways. It is the industry's first SoC to combine a 1.3 GHz dual-threaded MIPS® applications processor with the latest transmission efficient H.264/MPEG Scalable Video Coding (SVC), and Multiview Video Coding (MVC) standards for enabling 1080p60/50 content distribution and full-resolution HD 3DTV. It also features a 1G pixel per second OpenGL® ES 2.0 3D GPU for advanced 3D graphics acceleration, and whole-home connectivity that includes Digital Living Network AllianceSM (DLNA®) support and integrated Ethernet MII and PHY support for connectivity with Broadcom's Wi-Fi and powerline solutions. Providing these high levels of integration and performance, the BCM7424 is designed to meet the needs for the next-generation connected home experience including a compelling and leading video content experience, more web-based software applications and the ability to stream content and connect devices in the home and on-the-go.
FEATURES:
