ZHUHAI, China, Nov. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Actions
Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ACTS) ("Actions Semiconductor" or
"the Company"), one of China's
leading fabless semiconductor companies that provides comprehensive
portable multimedia and mobile internet system-on-a-chip (SoC)
solutions for portable consumer electronics, today announced the
launch of the GT7 chipset featuring 4K H.265 decoding, quad-core
64-bit CPU and quad-core GPU targeting the global over-the-top
("OTT") set-top box market.
The GT7 is a new generation, ultra-high performance solution
featuring a quad-core ARM® CortexTM A53
CPU and a high performance ARM quad-core Mali-450 GPU. The GT7 supports up to 4K Ultra
HD decoding for the latest international standard - HEVC/H.265
video decoding and up to 1080P full HD decoding for nearly all
video standards and formats. It also supports Gigabit
ethernet connectivity and USB3.0. In addition to these
advanced features, the GT7 employs 28nm process technology with
Actions' Low Power Design Generation V technology, providing the
most powerful, feature rich and low power product for OTT set-top
box customers. The chipset supports both Android OS and the most
prevalent OS in China's OTT
market, Alibaba's YunOS for TV.
"The home video entertainment industry has been undergoing
dramatic change, with the market migrating from traditional DVD
players and broadcast-based set-top boxes to Internet-based OTT
set-top boxes, which are typically smarter, more interactive and
provide cloud services beyond video. The industry is also
experiencing an upgrade from full HD to ultra HD," said Dr.
Zhenyu Zhou, CEO of Actions
Semiconductor. "The transition to 64-bit technology for
mobile and cloud connected devices is accelerating rapidly, and we
believe it will become the industry standard for OTT set-top boxes
in 2016. Leveraging our flagship 64-bit SoC launched at the
International CES earlier this year, the ATM9009, we expect our
newest 28nm 4K 64-bit chipset to be well received by the fast
growing global OTT set-top box market."
The GT7 will be available for sample at the end of 2015.
