Philips, ASUS Offer Motherboard with Build-in TV reception
ASUS will use Philips' chipset solution for analog TV to deliver its first motherboard with TV reception.
The two-chip solution from Philips includes a silicon tuner and audio/video decoder in a compact form factor to make it easy for motherboard manufacturers to add analog TV reception to their designs. The TDA8275 silicon tuner and SAA7131 audio/video decoder enable the consumer to enjoy TV on their PCs without the necessity of purchasing an add-on TV card.
Philips' two-chip solution includes all the necessary functions to enable analog TV reception on a PC and is less than half the size of traditional CAN tuner solutions used in TV cards. It supports all global TV standards including NTSC, PAL and SECAM, and with the addition of the TDA10046 channel decoder, it can also support DVB-T digital TV reception. In addition, the integration of the chip enables simpler and smaller board design to reduce manufacturing costs and time-to-market for manufacturers of TV cards.
