Gwennap Table of Contents Your Guide to Mobile TV Chips As mobile TV emerges as a viable form of portable entertainment, it is untethering consumers from their living rooms. Mobile-TV receivers are being designed into handsets, media players, navigation systems, and PCs. The prospect of integrating mobile-TV receivers into these devices opens the total available market for the chips to 100 million units within a few years. This opportunity has lured more than a score of suppliers into the market. This transition has been facilitated by the development of new digital specifications to improve receiver performance and reduce power consumption. Despite these advances, the market remains chaotic. Different broadcasters use different specifications and, to date, no single specification has been adopted as a worldwide standard. Deployment plans vary because of spectrum availability and other issues, while different business models are being attempted. Japan and Korea have seen rapid uptake of their 1Seg and T-DMB services that are available at no charge and carry well-known shows. Fee-based services and those with limited content have taken off more slowly. We Sort Out the Technology and the Key Vendors "A Guide to Mobile TV Chips" provides in-depth coverage of TV receivers from suppliers such as DiBcom, Siano, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices (Integrant), Telegent, and Afa Technologies.
