Broadcom successfully developed Blu-ray / HD DVD chips

Broadcom has just introduced a system-wide solution on a first-generation (system-on-a-chip) SoC chip, combining both Blu-ray and HD DVD optical disc formats in a single, integrated chip design. well suited.

Building on the first generation SoC Blu-ray / HD DVD solution, Broadcom has developed the next generation reader to bypass current chip technology in terms of integration and speed, but the emphasis is on the reader. High definition video will get a stronger new "heart".

Broadcom's SoC Blu-ray / HD DVD solution is BCM7440 with an advanced feature set, which comes with software compatible with the specifications of both Blu-ray and HD DVD. This provides OEM manufacturers with a comprehensive platform to deliver the final product to users and home and network applications, avoiding the problem of incompatibility between these two formats.

Blu-ray / HD DVD reader uses BCM7440 chip

The BCM7440 chip combines decoding, processing and memory functions for both Blu-ray and HD DVD audiovisual readers, helping manufacturers not to create two different hardware platforms in one device. This chip supports Blu-ray and HD DVD standards such as H.264 / AVC, VC-1, MPEG-2, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Tru-HD and DTS-HD. It is worth mentioning that BCM7440 chip is also backward compatible with current DVD and CD audio standards.
