Broadcom's New System-on-a-Chip Enables Music and Video to be Shared Between Different Types of Entertainment Devices while Maintaining High Levels of Security

Industry research indicates that there is a strong desire by consumers to easily connect their entertainment devices within a home network. A part of this simple portability challenge is the wide proliferation of disparate video/audio playback devices and a wide variety of incompatible sources of content. As a result, the need has emerged for a fast, efficient, high quality, yet flexible transcoding solution that can change the format, the bit rate and the resolution of audio/video content in real-time.

The single-chip Broadcom® BCM7043 solves the industry problem of being able to share non-compatible video and audio content by transcoding (or matching) it to the proper format being used by a particular playback device. It provides the most up-to-date foundational technology for encoding and transcoding content in cable, satellite, IPTV and terrestrial set-top boxes, portable media players, cell phones, home media centers, personal video recorders, digital video recorders, HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc® and universal DVD players/recorders, and personal computers.
