To All: Lower-cost hardware on the way? Rockwell Unveils "Space-Saving" DBS Chipset Rockwell Semiconductor Systems' Digital Infotainment Division unveiled a two-device chipset that provides a fully integrated 1 to 30 Msps DBS receiver solution. By integrating the tuner function onto a chip, and dramatically reducing external discrete components, Rockwell has created a solution that provides space savings and has the potential to reduce the cost of the receiver by as much as 30 percent. It also enables the tuner to be implemented directly onto the motherboard. Systems for DirecTV and EchoStar will be able to deploy the chip. The satellite receiver chipset is intended for use in DVB and DSS consumer and commercial set-top and PC receivers as well as satellite-ready digital VCRs. It will also enable development of new applications, such as digital-satellite equipped televisions.
