China Digital TV Partners with Microsoft to Launch PC-TV Tuner Solution for Windows Vista
Wednesday, December 03, 2008
BEIJING, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Digital TV Holding Co., Ltd.
(NYSE: STV) ("China Digital TV" or the "Company"), the leading provider of
conditional access systems to China's rapidly growing digital television
market, today announced the availability of a new PC-TV tuner solution which
provides integrated support for the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system.
This new solution will allow computer users throughout China to watch and
record scrambled digital cable television programming on their PCs.
China Digital TV and Microsoft have been working together since March 2008
to develop products that would enable widespread adoption of the digital home.
At the Microsoft Windows Hardware Engineering Conference 2008 (WinHEC 2008),
representatives from both companies stated that they were pleased with the
progress of the collaboration over the last eight months, and expect to
further strengthen the partnership in areas of research and development of
digital television technology as well as marketing.
"We are excited by the result of this partnership," said Mr. Dong Li,
China Digital TV's chief marketing officer. "China Digital TV's world class
hardware solution will enable Microsoft Vista operating system to make use of
its multimedia capabilities to the fullest extent by allowing Chinese people
to watch high-definition TV programs on their household PCs."
Mr. Yuanqing Shen, senior director of Strategic Partnership at Microsoft
China R&D Group stated, "The Microsoft Windows Vista platform takes a leading
role in supporting digital television programming and we are delighted to have
China Digital TV as our partner in China. China Digital TV's deep commitment
to and leading position in this industry lays a solid foundation for the
commercial success of the PC-TV turner solutions. We expect our cooperation
to grow deeper and broader in the future."
Based on a CA-enabled DVB-C Digital TV IC, the PC-TV tuner solution allows
for a simplified approach in converting a PC into a digital television. The
DVB-C HDTV Tuner can receive high-definition digital cable television
programming, and decode the encrypted television signals through the
conditional access module. The DVB-C HDTV Tuner is compatible with Windows
Vista and Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE), and is attached to a computer
via either a PCI connection or a USB extension. Currently, the PC-TV tuner
solution has been introduced to cable television network operators and
manufacturers of PCs, set-top boxes and TV tuner cards around China.
In addition, China Digital TV also announced a new AIR-Mouse/AIR-Touch
Panel IC compatible with all versions of Windows including Windows 7. Through
a precise three-dimensional positioning, the AIR-Mouse/AIR-Touch Panel IC
significantly enhances the interactive functionality of an input device such
as a mouse or a remote control. This technological advancement serves as the
platform that cable TV network operators rely on for developing interactive
digital TV programming.
