CTC-200/201 Universal Broadband Receiver

CrestaTV is comprised of the CTC-200/201 programmable RF, the Interface IC, and the multi-threaded signal processing software algorithms that are optimized for multi-core CPUs. With a total dissipation of only 500mW of power under maximum load and supporting frequencies which include 42-1000MHz and L1 band, OEMs and ODMs implement CrestaTV on PCI express cards for desktops and PCI mini-express cards or USB TV sticks for laptops.

CrestaTV's novel architecture achieves both low cost and universal support for any analog or digital TV standard that dedicated hardware silicon cannot. As such, CrestaTV exemplifies a lesser known corollary to Moore's Law: what can be done in software will be done in software.
