ARIB HD Digital Module for integration into TV chassis or STB

Zentek's ISDB-T/S HDTV module is designed to meet the ARIB Standard requirements for terrestrial digital and BS-CS 110-degree digital broadcasting.
Optimized for performance, footprint and cost, the module supports High Definition Television and includes a BML browser. The module can either be used as a plug-in to a TV chassis or in a set top box by itself.
Connectors on the module enable easy interfacing to an analogue board in the TV.
Hence the time required to develop Digital TV appliances can now be significantly reduced by integrating this off-the-shelf module, with TVs incorporating LCD, PDP or CRTs displays.
