We entered into this partnership because we foresee a need to provide flexible, multi-standard IP solutions for the increasing number and complexity of worldwide DTV standards, stated Slobodan Simovich, Iberium’s CEO. Tensilica’s DPU technology is a superior programmable platform that delivers performance and power efficiencies 10 to 100X greater than legacy CPU or DSP platforms.
We are pleased to partner with Iberium because of both their great expertise in DTV standards and their broadband DTV interoperability testing acumen, stated Steve Roddy, Tensilica’s vice president of marketing and business development. With the rapid proliferation of digital television standards and DTV-enabled products, it makes sense for Tensilica to partner with a leader that has application-specific expertise in this field.
