Description ST-9150
1 Description
The ST-9150 provides a solution for operators to specify a range of low-cost, high
performance HD TVs including low-cost Zappers, IP clients, Interactive TVs, DVR
standalone and DVR server/home network capable TVs, and with content delivery possible
using broadcast or broadband networks, or both (hybrid TVs). The ST-9150 keeps pace with
the latest conditional access, DRM and trusted platform requirements of major operators
worldwide by incorporating the latest generation of advanced security features.
The ST-9150 offers current users of STs growing family of advanced decoding ICs
enhancements in performance and features whilst reducing cost and time-to-market for the
next generation deployments.
