Samsung develops TV-over-cellphone chip, say reports By Peter Clarke Silicon Strategies 06/14/2004, 7:02 AM ET LONDON -- Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. has developed an integrated circuit that provides terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) services within mobile telephones, according to reports out of South Korea, on Monday (June 14). The reports cite Samsung as their source and said Samsung claimed to have the first chip for land-based services, which would allow users to watch terrestrially transmitted video channels on-demand through their mobile phones. No discussion was made of the impact on battery life of a mobile phone that is heavily used because of the availability of video. DMB is a South Korean digital video standard similar to the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) suite of standards in use in Europe for cable, satellite (DVB-S) and terrestrial broadcast (DVB-T). It was announced that LG Electronics of had licensed Xtensa microprocessor technology from Tensilica Inc. for use in a DMB project in December 2003. In February, Samsung Electronics developed a chip for cell phones capable of supporting the DMB service over satellite, a Korea Times report said. Samsung said it would team up with SK Telecom to offer the satellite-based DMB service by September at the earliest, the report added.
