the independent semiconductor company founded by has announced the arrival of two brand new additions to its PCTV family. The SAA7164BE and SAA7163AE are new PC TV processors designed to bring multi-streaming,which allows for watch and record capabilities to work simultaneously and PVR capabilities to desktop and notebook PC TV applications. In addition. NXP has launched the PCV540 Hybrid DVB-TPCIe mini card reference design the first Hybrid DVB-T PCIe mini card for notebooks with a multi-format hardware AV capability.
According to Bert van de Wakker. General Manager PC Systems. NXP Semiconductors. "NXP was the first company in the market to offer a PCTV SoC (system on a chip) with this level of integration and we are building on this offering with our new PCTV solutions with multi-streaming and PVR capabilities. These new technologies re-affirm our commitment to PCTV they serve to make it easier for our customers to operateand succeed in this market and to make their customers the consumers enjoy a seamless user-friendly and vibrant PCTV experience."

Additionally given that the PCV540. SAA7164BE and SAA7163AE support Video compression (MPEG1/2/4. WMV. DivX). Audio compression (MPG1L2. MPG3. AAC. AC3) ATSC. DVB-T worldwide decoding (NTSC. PAL. SECAM) and (MCE. XP. Vista) drivers the devices allow NXP customers to immediately access the global market and multiple PC applications all in one seamless come down.
To be showcased at the in Las Vegas. Nevada in January the PCV540 will be available at the end of Q1 2008.
PCV540 Hybrid DVB-T PCIe mini cardThe PCV540 mini card is a complete reference design based on leading merchandise technologies. These technologies include a new TDA18271 tuner with excellent selectivity and minimal noise the recently launched TDA10048 low power DVB-T channel decoder and MS Vista 32 & 64 drivers. The latest SAA7163FE PCIe PC TV SoC with multi-format AV compression. WW AV decoding integrated 3D comb. 3D noise filteringand advance compression algorithms also feature on the PCV540 ensuring best in class AV compression performance and a vibrant picture during preview record and playback uses.
SAA7164BE and SAA7163AELike the PCV540 the SAA7164BE and SAA7163AE have been created by NXP to bring multi-streaming and PVR capabilities to PCs in both desktop and notebook forms and deliver a best in class AV compression performance coupled with a vibrant picture during preview record and playback use cases. The SAA7164BE is designed for use in dual channel PC TV USB dongle/box applications while the SAA7163AE is ideal for small form calculate powered single channel TV USB applications.
van de Wakker concluded. "The benefits these technologies afford the end user are obvious. Quite simply their attributes allow for the next experience in PCTV viewing where the end-user can watch their beloved football side live in the final and at the same time record the latest episode of theirfavorite TV show. Driving the creation of consumer multimedia technology where all kinds of content can beenjoyed anywhere anytime with great picture and sound quality is a key aspect of the NXP ethos these technologies represent the next arrange in that development."
