The BCM7448S and BCM7449S include support for two of the most advanced video compression standards, including the HEVC standard and Google VP9 technology. Both standards reduce the delivered bitrate for comparable video quality by approximately 50%. Advanced compression standards also provide video service providers with STBs capable of decoding and displaying Ultra HD, whether from traditional carriers or Google’s YouTube channel, to subscribers’ primary TVs. The chips also deliver industry-leading display resolution speeds of 60fps (4Kp60), which provides a smoother and more realistic on-screen experience.
“Since Broadcom first delivered MoCA integration in its STB portfolio in 2009, we have worked tirelessly to provide operators and manufacturers with the most advanced and cost-effective solutions featuring the latest connectivity technology,” said John H. Gleiter, Vice President of Marketing, Broadband & Connectivity Group, Broadcom. “Our latest generation of home gateway and IP client chips with integrated MoCA 2.0 and multi-standard video compression now allow carriers to further enhance their value and deploy the highest-quality Ultra HD services to subscribers.”
