Looking Beyond the IPTV Buzz
Developing flexible architectures capable of delivering IPTV and interactive and personalized lifestyle services requires knowledge of the technology deployed throughout IP networks. Innovations based on DSP technology can help cable operators look beyond the buzz. For details, see “IPTV revisited: Focusing on next-generation lifestyle services” (CED Magazine, 1 March 2007) by TIer Ben Wagner. Read it today.

Is Your Repeater-Chip HDMI 1.3 Compatible?
Changing standards and maximum data rates make it difficult for engineers to determine whether their HDMI repeater chip supports 1080p in 36-bit mode, which requires a signaling rate of 2.23 Gbps per TMDS channel. In this article (Digital TV DesignLine, 30 April 2007), TI’s Thomas Kugelstadt reviews the challenges of the HDMI-1.3 standard. Read about HDMI 1.3 now.
