United States : STMicroelectronics to use ARM s chips in next-gen STB.Byline: prashant Prashant is a common Indian name derived from the word Shant which means quiet, or tranquil. Adding "pra" creates a superlative of "shant". The Pacific Ocean is called Prashant Mahasagar in Hindi due to its calm nature. Prashant is also a common masculine Indian name. 03 The Cortex A9 MPCore processor and the Mali 400 Graphics Processor made by ARM will be used in the production of STMicroelectronics next generation of set top boxes and digital TV system-on-chip ICs. ARM already provides STMicroelectronics with processor technology, but the difference with this latest deal is that the equipment is capable of processing high bandwidth broadband broadband Term describing the radiation from a source that produces a broad, continuous spectrum of frequencies (contrasted with a laser, which produces a single frequency or very narrow range of frequencies). and broadcast content streamed directly into homes. According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. ARM, this is a great deal for the firm and is a clear demonstration of how the ARM equipment has become popular due to the growth of cortex processors and mail GPUs to be used in set-top-boxes and DTV (Digital TeleVision) Transmitting TV using digital signals. The major DTV standards are ATSC (North America), DVB (Europe) and ISDB (Japan). All three use MPEG-2 video compression and Dolby Digital audio compression. DVB and ISDB also include MPEG audio compression. equipment. STMicroelectronics will begin using the Cortex A9 MPCore and Mali 400MP in set-top-boxes from mid 2010. Copyright : Euclid Infotech Pvt.
