ST has launched four quad-core system chips for the Ultra HD p60 market in China

     ST launches four quad-core system-on-chip (SoC) for the Ultra HD p60 market in China, with the new products STiH314/318 and STiH414/418 belonging to ST's Cannes/ Monaco series, which is popular in the HD market. At present, a number of major Oems have begun to use these system chips to develop a new generation of ultra-high-definition products.

     Philippe Notton, Vice President and General Manager of ST's Consumer Electronics Division, said: "The Chinese UHD ecosystem is an extremely important and dynamic market, and ST has specifically developed high-performance, energy-efficient and price-competitive system chips for the Chinese market that support key functions such as AVS+[1], Chinese downloadable CAS[2] (DCAS) and TVOS[3]. The new product family benefits from a third-party ecosystem that supports rich applications, giving customers a head start in the product development phase to develop market-focused solutions."

     Michel Rahier, President of Technicolor's Home Networking Products Division, said: "Providing end users with an immersive visual experience and value-added services is our shared goal with ST. We are seeing operators around the world gearing up to offer 4K services to consumers. "The 4K market in China is not only large but has great potential, especially for global sports content, which will directly benefit from the high resolution and image quality provided by 4K services."
