Auvitek Introduces Durante; Breakthrough Hybrid USB TV Tuner Reference Design.FREMONT, Calif. -- Auvitek announced its breakthrough Durante reference design, a hybrid USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. TV tuner device utilizing the company's highly successful AU8502 demodulator See demodulate. Demodulator A device used to recover the original modulating signal from a modulated wave. A demodulator is also known as a detector. . E[acute accent]Auvitek's attractive USB reference design is already being adopted by several cutting-edge ODMs and OEMs such as Leadtek International, Yuan Technology, Ya-Hsin, VVmer, Goodway, Itemstech, and Prolink, all of whom will be showcasing their products this week at Computex Taipei. E[acute accent]The AU8502, an ATSC/NTSC HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates demodulator, is the world's only demodulator IC for both digital ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee) An international digital television (DTV) standard adopted by the U.S., Canada, South Korea, Taiwan and Argentina. 8-VSB and analog NTSC/BTSC TV broadcasts, and builds on Auvitek's patent-pending AccuTune(TM) technology. The Durante reference design has the smallest form factor on the market today. E[acute accent]"Today's technology is in transition from analog to digital TV, and this transition is occurring in every part of the world. We believe that a successful TV tuner device must therefore be a hybrid device that can receive both analog and digital TV signals," said Victor Ren, executive vice president and chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. at Auvitek. "Our AccuTune(TM) technology makes the Durante capable of tuning in weak or noisy TV signals. Last but not least, as a hybrid USB device, the Durante has the world's smallest form factor due to the high integration of AU8502. These factors all contribute to a high performance and low cost device."
