We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Digital broadcast",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Low-bandwidth expertise tempts Dolby from
Coding Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "Dolby Laboratories is set to acquire Coding Technologies for a purchase price of approximately US $250 million net of cash".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Acquisition expands data-convertor IP portfolio from
Silicon and Software Systems (S3): "Silicon and Software Systems has acquired Acacia Semiconductor".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Renesas Technology Europe
concerning its SH-MobileL3V2 and SH-MobileUL
- take a look at Microprocessors offer video support
which says: "The SH-MobileL3V2 and SH-MobileUL microprocessors incorporate a high-performance, low-power multi-Codec video processing IP".
Take a look also at the news release from STMicroelectronics, Chipset puts TV in the backseat,
as well as LCD factory places large test platform order from Rohde and Schwarz,
and Multiport transport system for video over Ethernet from Pleora Technologies.
