BCM93740 - Advanced 3D Set-Top Box Development Platform

Advanced 3D Set-Top Box Development Platform

The Broadcom BCM93740 is an advanced set-top box development platform supporting high definition television (HDTV), dual standard definition decoding and broadband cable modem internet access. It is a highly integrated, cost-effective design built on the latest generation of Broadcom silicon and software offering low risk and quick time to market for the next generation of interactive set-top boxes.

The triple tuner architecture allows for web browsing, video and Personal Video Recording (PVR) on a separate channel. Time shifting is also simultaneously supported on the channel being viewed. The dual MPEG2 encoder allows full support of watch and record on two analog channels.
