With low system power requirements Imagination Technologies' Vigo and Kurasawa mobile TV demodulation IP platforms provide the foundation of a highly integrated mobile TV solution, reducing cost, design risk and time to market.
These platforms provide the widest range of multistandard support for mobile TV, including: "One Seg" ISDB-T, DVB-H, Enhanced Packet Mode DAB and T-DMB.
Imagination Technologies' mobile TV technology is: multistandard, enabling devices that allow multiple standard support in the same country and can roam between countries with different standards; highly integrated, delivering full baseband receiver functionality in a preverified subsystem; and ultralow in power consumption, providing multistandard capability at no power penalty.
Built around Imagination's UCC Mobile (Universal Communications Coprocessor) signal processor, which provides PHY layer demodulation, Imagination Technologies' mobile TV platform also integrates hardware to support the DVB-H Link Layer and a Meta MTX embedded controller for real-time system housekeeping.
