Sony Commercialises World's First*1 Demodulator LSI for "DVB-T2"*2
07 January 2010

Sony Corporation today announced the commercialization of the world's first demodulator LSI for high-definition television use conforming to the "DVB-T2"*2 (Digital Video Broadcasting –Terrestrial 2) terrestrial digital broadcast standard adopted in the UK.

"DVB-T2" is a new terrestrial digital broadcast standard which improves on the current "DVB-T"*3 terrestrial digital broadcast standard adopted in Europe and various other countries and regions around the world.  "DVB-T2" significantly increases data transmission capacity compared to "DVB-T", and optimizes use of band frequencies to enhance the quality of high definition broadcasts.  The first "DVB-T2" standard terrestrial digital broadcasts commenced in the UK in December, 2009.

This "DVB-T2" specification demodulator LSI incorporates Sony's proprietary reception algorithms and error correction circuits to achieve highly sensitive reception, even within weak electric fields, and stable reception within multipath environments, while also reducing power consumption.  It is also compatible with the current "DVB-T" standard, as well as the "DVB-C"*4 cable broadcast standard, providing flexibility for "DVB-T2" set designs, while contributing to miniaturization and a reduction in the number of components.

With adoption of the "DVB-T2" expected to expand to various countries across Europe and around the world, Sony will actively promote the use of this new LSI to manufacturers of large-screen TVs, set top boxes and other applicable products.

This LSI is to be used in UK models of Sony's "BRAVIA" LCD TVs which are scheduled to be released in 2010.





Major features

- World's first*1 demodulator LSI for "DVB-T2", compatible with three standards ("DVB-T2", "DVB-T" and "DVB-C") contributing to product miniaturization and reduction of components.

- Sony's proprietary reception algorithms and error correction circuits ensure high sensitivity reception, even within weak electric fields (CNR of 19.2 dB required for DTG109 transmit parameter broadcasts in the UK) and stable reception within multipath environments.

- Low power consumption of 700mW (typical consumption when LDPC decoder operating at maximum level).

- Supports multiple-PLP*5



Notes to editors

*1 Based on Sony research (as of January, 2010)

*2 DVB-T2: Second generation terrestrial digital broadcast standard "ETSI EN302 755". This is the improved version of the first generation "DVB-T". Digital sound and video signals are transmitted using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) digital modulation. Using a time interleaver and LDPC code (a kind of error correction system) improves the transmission efficiency by approximately 50% compared with "DVB-T".

*3 DVB-T: First generation terrestrial digital broadcast standard "ETSI EN300 744". This standard is adopted in various countries and regions around the world including Europe. Digital sound and video signals are transmitted using orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) digital modulation.

*4 DVB-C: Cable digital broadcast standard "ETSI EN300 429". This standard is adopted in various countries and regions around the world including Europe. Digital sound and video signals are transmitted using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) digital modulation.

*5 Multiple-PLP: Technology which multiplexes plural transport streams adopted in "DVB-T2" in a physical layer. This LSI conforms to DTG400, DTG401, DTG402, DTG403, DTG404 and other parameters.

Krell, has introduced their very first Blu-Ray player at CES, which will ship later in the 2nd quarter of this year.

The Evolution 555 is a Profile 2.0 Ready (BD Live) Blu-Ray/DVD player with 1GB of onboard memory. It features an SD card slot for expanded memory (for BD Live, Bonus View movie titles, and playback options for photo and music files), and the 12-bit Sigma Design VXP technology, which is an engine that delivers high-quality video processing algorithms for noise reduction, de-interlacing, scaling, image enhancement and frame rate conversion.

The Evolution 555 includes an aspect ratio control that features a vertical stretch option for systems using 2:35:1 Contrast Image Height display systems. This gets rid of those black bars on the top and bottom of the screen without distorting the image or artifacts




Krell's Blu-Ray player also has an onboard Ethernet port and slot for wireless cards/ Internet connectivity. This allows for firmware updates, BD Live interactivity and IP control. Being connected to a network is also useful for streaming online, or gathering media files from a home network.

Dual HDMI outputs are included with the option of full audio and video output to two systems.  Another option is to dedicate one HDMI for audio, and the second for video, which helps with "jitter" reduction for the signal paths.  Also, though the Evolution 555 is HDMI 1.3 compliant, it comes ready for upgrading to HDMI 1.4 with full support for 3D. The Evolution 555 runs at a suggested retail price of $15,000

Wat is dat Krell spul toch slecht ontworpen qua vorm. En dan al helemaal de voorversterkers. En ja, ik houd heel erg van modern en industrieel, maar dit vind ik meer een technisch ontwerp in de trant van: we moeten zoveel knopjes, 1 lade en een display kwijt. Vervolgens wordt gekeken hoe ze aan de binnenzijde het beste de printplaatjes kunnen plaatsen, dat daar komen dan ook de knopjes!

Leuk!  Ze gebruiken dezelfde DAC's als Oppo-83 SE.

Het zou mij niet verbazen als het gewoon een Oppo-83 SE is in een ander jasje.
