AMSTERDAM, Sept. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- IBC2015
Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ: BRCM), a global innovation leader
in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications,
today introduced the next generation of its widely deployed
mid-range cable and IPTV set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC)
devices. The upgraded chips now integrate the High Efficiency Video
Coding (HEVC) to provide up to a 50 percent reduction in bandwidth
for similar video quality, allowing operators to leverage huge
bandwidth cost savings as they migrate to cloud based all-IP video
delivery. For more news, visit Broadcom's Newsroom.
Broadcom's upgrades to its high-volume cable and IP STB silicon
solutions are engineered as hardware drop-in upgrades to existing
