exceptional performance and reliability for India's cable networks
-- FastRTV channel change acceleration for faster than analog channel
change times
-- Audio volume leveling for constant audio levels across channels and
commercials
-- Advanced security engine certified by all major CAS providers offers a
range of security options with one common platform
-- USB DVR for recording and pausing live DTV programming
-- Turnkey DVB-C application, guide and user interface for easy
customizations and faster time to market
Availability
Broadcom's BCM7013 SoC devices are currently in high volume production.
