DiBcom Offers a Complete Range of Solutions for PC TV Peripherals With New, Highly Integrated, Low Power, Low Cost DVB-T Chips

PALAISEAU, France, December 12/PRNewswire/ -- After introducing in May 2005 the DIB7700-P, the most
integrated DVB-T chip including an USB2.0 interface for digital TV reception
on PC, DiBcom today announced the DIB7710-P, a highly integrated, low-power,
cost-effective DVB-T chip with a PCI interface. The DIB7700-P and DIB7710-P
family provides a complete solution for all possible PCTV DVB-T peripherals,
ranging from mini-PCI to mini-card for laptops, and PCI to USB2.0 for
desktops. The new external PCI-Express form factor, which replaces the
previous CardBus interface, is also supported by these circuits. Utilising
less than 200 mW for the demodulator, this product provides the lowest power
consumption on the market, offering the perfect solution for hybrid
analog/digital and digital solutions.

With this highly integrated solution, the DIB7710-P now
competes with the most cost-effective solutions on the market in terms of
pricing. This new chip also offers the perfect reception quality with a
portable antenna, a requirement for the success of these devices in the
consumer market. The cost advantage of merging PCI and USB 2.0 interfaces on
the chip is very high, and DiBcom's experience in developing state-of-the-art
Microsoft(TM) drivers makes it a complete solution for fast time-to-market
for ODMs and OEMs. The DIB7710-P can be used in either single or diversity
mode, which has proven to offer up to 11 dB gain in European countries for
portable reception. This currently supports hybrid analog/digital
combination.

"The PCTV market is growing rapidly and very demanding in
terms of size, power and price. With the DIB7700 and DIB7710, we now have the
most advanced solution on the market, where there is a growing demand for
mobile TV solutions on PC. As mobile TV becomes more popular, with the
emergence of DVB-H, a standard pioneered by DiBcom, business is being
conducted with our commercially available low-cost, high-performance DVB-T
solutions." states Yannick Levy, President and CEO of DiBcom.
