BIOS: Technology Means Business

AVerMedia Technologies’ E570 turns your mobile phone, PDA or laptop computer into a mobile television set thanks to its SDIO interface.

The E570 features low power consumption and promises superior mobile receiving abilities for handheld devices. The tiny card can be used in conjunction with a number of devices to allow you to watch the latest digital TV programmes while on the move.

Supporting both L band and UHF band signals you are able to use one device to watch digital TV in North America and Europe. Fantastic!

DVB-H (mobile television) is largely based on the successful DVB-T specification for digital terrestrial television, adding to it a number of features designed to account for the limited battery life of small handheld devices and the particular environments in which such devices must operate.

AVerMedia has also demonstrated its new E569 TV Tuner, also a DVB-H solution but in the form of the new Express Card interface measuring a mere 34mm. The E569 enables you to not only watch digital TV programmes on your laptop computer but also to run different multimedia programmes simultaneously.

‘Mobile TV has been predicted as the next big thing. AVerMedia has demonstrated that we are ready to play a key role in this market along side other backers such as Intel. We provide a complete range of PC-TV solutions for a variety of platforms and are pleased to be a pioneering developer in DVB-H TV Tuner solutions’, says Jon Rainford, Multimedia Product Manager, AVerMedia UK.

‘The launch of one of the first worldwide DVB-H TV Tuner solutions shows the advance in mobile TV development, but for AVerMedia it also proves our ability to react quickly to market trends. We are excited about becoming a key provider of handheld TV tuners’.

Although the new DVB-H technology is only in testing stages across the UK, AVerMedia will be ready to support and provide solutions to its customers from launch. Trials are currently being held in both Cambridge and Oxford and are expected to run until March. For full information on the availability of DVB-H, visit www.dvb-h-online.org.
