We continue our excursion begun on century This time we we shall visit not only on a visit manufacturers of final decisions, but also we shall get acquainted with kitchen of one of leading developers of the electronic components which were ensuring the functioning computer TV-tyunerov. The company with wide experience of development computer TV-tyunerov with support of hardware coding some time has concentrated on OEM-ry'nke, therefore production proexhausted at its participation back, often meets in boxes of other brands. As well as in case of with Items Technology, identification of the Russian partner, hardly, becomes a unsoluble problem for our close readers. In a view of it the tuners presented at the stand with interface PCI-Express 1x (including decisions with two independent VCH-blokami, analog and digital) inspire the certain hope for their occurrence for counters of domestic shops. Despite of the names of microcircuits hidden in the secret purposes, it is easy to guess, that these devices are based on the same sheaf a reception part from Xceive + Conexant CX238 + CX234 about which we already spoke in the first part of our reporting. Nevertheless, the truncated size of payments allows to assume use of own design PCB. Ruler USB of ultra compact notebook pc 2. tuners forces to recollect the tendency of general miniaturization of this class of devices. It would seem, to offer something new in this segment is practically impossible, but it was possible to engineers YUAN twice. First of all it is necessary to note the firm technology Diversity assuming use of two independent aerials for reception DVB-T of a signal, especially actual at use of a tuner in moving transport (the standard provides reception of a signal till the speed of 3 km/h). The second non-standard opportunity became installation in addition to a microcircuit which is responsible for work with DVB-T, GPS-prie'mnika. Support of new interfaces for portable computers also has not kept itself waiting. The company offers hardly probable not the greatest ruler of tuners with interface Mini Card (it is used both USB 2.0, and PCI-Express), including with support vy'sheupomyanutoy technologies Diversity, GPS-modulem (only for DVB-T to model) and to equipment rooms MPEG2-kodirovaniem. Same concerns tuners with interface Express Card, except for, unless, supports GPS-navigacii. A curious detail at the stand it was possible to notice ultra compact notebook pc devices with trade marks of such known manufacturers as Hewlett-Packard. The former semi-conductor division Philips Electronics, nowadays being the independent company, this time had powerful reasons in favour of the presence at an exhibition. The company in the past to year, has offered fresher shemotehnicheskie decisions, rather than SAA71xx, including with support PCI-Express and hardware coding. By virtue of use together with not differing good competitiveness VCH-blokami TDA8275A of special distribution at the moment of occurrence end-products on their base have not received. But now the situation can change, NXP has presented new receiver TDA18271HD, it DVB-T variation TDA18211HD and reference configurations of devices on their base. The manager of the company who is responsible for this direction present at the stand, with competing products from especially allocated sensitivity of novelties a digital mode so, revolution, most likely, to ultra compact notebook pc expect on a question on comparison TDA18271HD is not necessary. The difference between new microcircuits and the previous generation is how much essential, will show tests, the blessing to us already it was possible to catch a tuner on the basis of TDA18271. For demonstration the computer with a simultaneous conclusion of the image from two tuners equipped by different types of receivers was used. On a background declared in the past to year ACP SAA7162E with support PCI-Express occurrence of a series 10-bitny'h SAA7136/7/ has passed not noticed. Meanwhile, despite of similarity of marks with SAA7133/4/5, these chips concern to different generations. Absence of support PCI assumes positioning SAA7136E for work in Express Card, Mini Card and USB 2. devices. In first two cases by means of two-channel bridge SAA7160ET trunk PCI-Express 1x is supported, in the third is used foreign USB 2.0-kontroller (the reference design provides the widespread microcircuits of manufacture). 0dnako scope SAA71 is not limited to it, we already had time to get acquainted and with on its base. Realized in TDA18271HD alongside with analog ultra compact notebook pc and DVB-T an announcement support DVB-H has allowed to offer USB 2. device with support of three formats. Has not kept itself waiting and necessary in a view of last tendencies to each manufacturer respecting support of hardware coding in MPEG2. Odnochipovy'y (besides, spirits of the times) ACP + encoder SAA7164E provides such functionality, that in a combination to support of two streams gives an opportunity of its use in tuners with two analog or hybrid VCH-blokami. Further under the text we shall be convinced that novelties from NXP have appeared demanded enough manufacturers of final devices. Owing to inexpensive, the tuners of this company delivered under brand LifeView, have received a wide circulation and the deserved popularity in the domestic market. However interest of competitors to the Russian market, supported by qualitative localization of production, and occurrence of powerful local brands have led to significant decrease in a share of the Russian market. However, it has not affected assortment, it quite deserves steadfast acquaintance. Despite of a plenty of the presented devices intended for use with new interfaces, updating has arrived and in PCI-lineyku. ultra compact notebook pc FlyTV Platinum Gold, being the ideological successor, hybrid FlyDVB-T Hybrid MCE, hybrid FlyDVB Duo with two independent VCH-blokami and FlyDVB Trio with support DVB-S added to the previous model are issued enough for a long time, therefore we shall pass directly to novelties. Animation Technologies demonstration of the devices equipped by new chips from NXP has presented one of the first tuners on the basis of Philips TDA8275, therefore, a surprise did not become. Has pleasantly surprised ser'e'znost' the approach, both presented hybrid models (with one and to two TDA18271HD accordingly) have support of hardware compression. Not such there was translation FlyDVB Trio on PCI-Express, the analog part functionally similar (the opportunity of simultaneous reception of two analog channels was added) FlyTV Express X MST-STA is based on the previous generation semi-conductor VCH-blokov from Philips. As they say, have hastened. Bottom price level PCI-Express of a series is presented hybrid FlyTV Express X MST-TA, also equipped ultra compact notebook pc TDA18271HD. In a role of heavy artillery analog and hybrid tuners with one and to two VCH-blokami, equipped seldom meeting now because of domination of production Conexant Systems by hardware encoders of manufacture act Presented ruler Express Card of devices consists of four models under a socket of mm (series M5) and one under mm (series M3). The same differences an opportunity of work with DVB-T an announcement and quantity of receivers (one or two). It is separately possible to note FlyTV Express M MST-TA Hybrid Ex, equipped by the hardware encoder. And here with Mini Card all not so radujno, this interface is supported by only one hybrid device with internal trunk PCI-Express 1x. Family USB of 2. tuners of the company especial is not allocated with anything. Unless, some of presented compact (the tendency!) analog, digital and hybrid models with cases of different colors differ from competitors presence of fastening for shnurka, that at such dimensions it is necessary to recognize as a useful design find. Support of multimedia environments Windows XP MCE and Windows Vista has led to occurrence in the complete set of ultra compact notebook pc the remote controls, capable to work with interfaces of these operational systems. At last it would be desirable to note, unfortunately, absent on stand PcMcIa-tyuner with support analog, DVB-T and DVB-S (!) announcements. In spite of the fact that production of the companies about which we now shall talk, has no direct attitude to reception and display of a television signal, work modern TV-tyunerov without it to present difficultly. It is a question of remote controls. Not a secret, that many manufacturers order this part of a complete set on the party, therefore to pass by stands of the companies specializing on development and manufacture of devices of remote control it would be simply ugly. Besides, there and without that was on what to look. Based in 1960, Taiwan company Forward Electronics represented as traditional boards (in a picture it is ultra compact notebook pc possible to notice the board from complete set TV-tyunerov of manufacture), and the boards intended for work with Windows MCE/Vista. Visiting of a site of the company has presented some surprises. It has appeared, that one of components of activity Forward Electronics is manufacture VCH-blokov (!). Their absence speaks payments of tuners on sale in Russia simply receivers are intended for work with NTSC-vesch'aniem. Unexpectedness became also presence in assortment of the company high-grade computer TV-tyunera with interface PCI-Express 1x, differing original circuitry. Multistandard PMT-DXXX it is equipped by two receivers Microtune MT2060, demodulators Micronas DRX3960A and Micronas DRX3975D, ACP Micronas AVF4910A and PCI-Express controller Micronas APB 7202A. The company with not absolutely usual name since 19 specializes on manufacture of sound cards, that at all does not prevent it to have in the arsenal an impressive ruler of remote controls and receivers for maintenance from work, past MCE/Vista-sertifikaciyu. As it is possible to notice, production of this manufacturer differs unusual configuration and impressing visual registration. Remains to hope for its occurrence in our shops, let even in boxes with TV-tyunerami other manufacturers. In a ultra compact notebook pc final part of our narration we shall get acquainted with new models from AVerMedia Technologies, Compro Technology and KWorld Computer among which there will be many noteworthy products. The author thanks for the help in the organization and technical maintenance of a trip Other discussions in conference: [8/30/2007, ] [8/29/2007, ]
