A satellite STB solution that delivers a boost in performance, lower power and support for the latest DVB-S2X broadcast standard has been released by Broadcom. The BCM45308 SoC device integrates Full Band Capture (FBC) technology to provide satellite operators with more efficient video and IP service distribution to subscribers' connected devices throughout the home.

The BCM453xx series dramatically simplifies system design and cost by integrating dual FBC ADCs and up to eight demodulators in a single chip. The inclusion of FBC technology and DVB-S2X demodulators allows operators to digitise the entire 250-2350MHz spectrum and provide flexible bandwidth deployment and tuning function in the digital domain, which enables a drastic reduction of tuner area and power.

Remote diagnostics capabilities provided by FBC technology saves operators costly on-site customer visits and pairs with FastRTV technology to provide quick channel change regardless of frequency. The latest DVB-S2X satellite standard offers improved operating range and performance in direct-to-home satellite markets to cover additional subscriber deployments and business applications. The BCM453xx series supports all new DVB-S2X coding rates, modulation schemes, channel bonding and sharper roll off factors to improve efficiency on transponder bandwidth.
