A few days ago, Professor Tang Mingguang of the Technical Working Committee of the China-Guangdong Association stated that 80% of the products in existing TV set-top boxes will not meet the demand for triple play. At the CCBN show, more multi-functional TV set-top boxes equipped with smart operating systems have begun to be exhibited.
It is understood that the development period of TV set-top boxes installed and used by existing residents is mainly in the IPTV is not yet mature, WiFi is not a complete period, so most set-top boxes use narrow-band EoC technology, and the production cost of narrow-band EoC was relatively low. So 80% of the set-top boxes that are currently in the home belong to narrow-band EoC products.
It is reported that the narrow-band EoC set-top box has relatively weak CPU processing capability, and the memory is basically too small. The function can only accomplish simple on-demand work, and it does not have relevant hardware processing capabilities for future interactive television programs and IPTV. Previously, Hangzhou had experimented with an interactive program called “Wulin Gateâ€, but the results showed that many set-top boxes had problems and could not be broadcast interactively.
Professor Tang Mingguang of the China-Guangdong Association Technical Working Committee stated that it is not suitable to continue to use the narrowband return program. The EoC technology has gradually matured. The price of WiFi and down-link WiFi will continue to decrease. If it is built into a built-in RS232 and USB interface, the price of set-top box modules will increase. It is equivalent to the original narrow-band set-top box.
In addition, IPTV has now reached a certain scale, and caused a decline in the number of cable TV users in Europe and the United States, and pure program on-demand has no way to compete with online TV.
At present, many new-generation TV set-top boxes that support IPTV and various functions have already begun to be exhibited in CCBN and have begun to move toward the market.
It is reported that a new generation of TV set-top box modules can be built into the TV, or it can be an independent set-top box. Most TV set-top boxes also have built-in Android smart operating systems and support IPTV, somatosensory games, interoperable on-demand, and multi-terminal sharing. Some of the functions built into the TV set-top box can also be used to interconnect PCs, digital TVs, and mobile phones. The entertainment features outside the ordinary TV function began to highlight.
According to some exhibitors, the TV set-top module produced by the exhibitor can also choose to add Bluetooth, WiFi, infrared and other transmission modules according to the requirements of customers' orders.
"The TV set-top box should be replaced with a mobile phone, 2-3 years, so that there will be development." Professor Tang Mingguang expressed the development of the set-top box.
