PARIS -- DiBcom, a fabless 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.

“Having closely followed DiBcom’s pioneering technology and its drive to establish the Diversity mode as the key solution for indoor DVB-T reception, we are thrilled to be the first company to commercialise and launch the technology which not only enhances the user experience but also adds an extremely convenient and innovative new twist with the flash memory,” said Jörn Lembke, Director of Product Management of Pinnacle Systems’ TV Viewing Group.

“We are very proud that Pinnacle Systems, a long time partner of DiBcom, has opted to use our technology in the conception of a product that combines TV reception and flash memory. This is a perfect example of integration work that the semi-conductor industry needs, in order to justify additional mass market investment and to generate new success for DVB-T reception in the PC world,” said Yannick Lévy, CEO of DiBcom.
