The new SMT-E7200 from Samsung ushers in a new generation of IPTV set-top boxes that the companies said provide improvement in performance and cost-effectiveness. These set-top boxes are initially targeted for deployment in Europe and are currently being integrated to run the Microsoft Mediaroom client.
"Samsung's top goal is to ensure satisfied telco operators by providing the highest quality and performance available in a Mediaroom set-top box," said Hee-Won Park, vice president of digital set-top box R&D, Samsung Electronics. "Microsoft has established a unique level of quality and service with its Mediaroom IPTV platform, as their top tier telco customer base indicates. By using Sigma's SMP8654 SoC, our SMT-E7200 set-top box delivers an outstanding high definition user experience along with the dependability of the number one component supplier to this market."
Sigma's SMP8654 builds on the legacy of its predecessor, the SMP8634. With over 50 percent more processing power, lower cost, and an enhanced set of peripherals, the SMP8654 represents a "second-generation" SoC for the Mediaroom ecosystem, according to the company.
"We are proud of the success we have achieved with Microsoft and are excited to be working together with Samsung, one of the world's foremost manufacturers of consumer products and solutions," said Ken Lowe, vice president of strategic marketing, Sigma Designs. "We believe that Samsung has the business and technical strengths to become a substantial force in the set-top box market and will enhance the range of solutions available for the Mediaroom ecosystem."
"We believe that a continually growing ecosystem reinforces quality of service for Microsoft Mediaroom-powered offerings by providing service provider customers and set-top box OEMs additional choices in SoCs," said Steve Koepp, Sr. Manager, Business Development of Microsoft's TV, Video & Music business.
