Digital terrestrial TV receiver solution for PCs
Last year, Intel developed its CE 9500 PC-TV USB “stick” reference design. It is a complete DVB-T digital terrestrial TV receiver solution for PC.
Intel CE 9500 PC-TV USB Reference Design Received digital terrestrial signals are down-converted to a low IF by the MaxLinear tuner and then passed to the CE 6230 DVB-T demodulator, which integrates Intel’s DVB-T demodulator with an Intel 8051 microcontroller. Audio and Video Transport Stream output is carried via the USB 2.0 interface to the PC host.
Through this small reception, users can use their PCs or laptops to watch high-definition television programs anywhere. It is also good news for notebook manufactures—the PC-TV USB reception can enhance the multimedia features of laptops.
