IntroductionST-9160
1 Introduction
The ST-9160 is targeted at the latest operator and CE manufacturer requirements for TVs
which utilize advanced HD decoding (H264/VC-1/MPEG2/AVS), and which conform to DVB,
ISMA, ATIS-IIF, SCTE, DirecTV, ATSC, ARIB, CEA, ITU, OpenCable, MSTV, and BD
specifications.
The ST-9160 provides a solution for operators to specify a range of cost-efficient, high
performance HD TVs including cost-efficient 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-9160 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-9160 offers current users of ST’s growing family of advanced decoding ICs
enhancements in performance and features whilst reducing cost and time-to-market for the
next generation deployments.
