^{Pinnacle builds on DiBcom’s chip} DVB-T comes to PC on USB stick

DiBcom, a fabulous semiconductor company and undisputed world leader for Mobile TV solutions, is proud to announce that its leading chipset, the “two-in-one” DIB7070-P, which includes a tuner and demodulator, is being used by Pinnacle Systems, Inc. for its new Pinnacle PCTVTM DVB-T Flash Stick. This cooperation is the culmination of a long established partnership, spanning several years and resulting in numerous joint products.

This highly innovative device is the first commercial product that maximises the potential of DiBcom’s DIB7070-P - the ultimate Mobile TV technology for notebook PC’s. The chipset offers a Diversity mode (dual antennas), which enables optimal indoor DVB-T reception within urban homes and apartments. Boasting low power consumption and small size, the DIB7070-P combines a dual-band tuner (VHF and UHF) with a DVB-T demodulator in one component, making it the ideal choice for Pinnacle Systems, a leading producer of consumer multimedia products.

The Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick is a state-of-the-art, ultra-compact device that has dramatically revolutionised the world of USB TV sticks with the addition of light storage capacity. The product combines DiBcom’s high quality DVB-T tuner with 1 GB flash memory on a USB bridge.

Not only can users watch TV on their desktop PC or laptop without installing any software (true plug-and-play), but they are also able to record television programmes using the flash memory. Compatible with Windows Media Center, the Pinnacle PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick is user-friendly and needs simply to be plugged into the PC’s USB 2.0 connector and then connected to the antenna.

Pinnacle Systems, Inc., is a wholly owned subsidiary of Avid Technology, Inc. It specializes in video editing solutions, TV tuners for the PC, and digital media adapters for the consumer market.
