Texas Instruments unveils mobile DTV chip

by Evan Blass, posted Jan 20th 2006 at 9:00PM

Texas Instruments announced that it has begun shipping its single-chip DTV solution, codenamed Hollywood, to cellphone manufacturers for inclusion in products to be released late in the year. The chip, which comes in either DTV1000 or DTV1001 flavors, supports open industry standards including DVB-H and ISDB-T, which will allow it to achieve worldwide penetration. We hope to pick up a phone with this chip before the end of the year so we can watch some tube during next year's boring CES keynotes.

Weird that TI made a chip for TV code named "Hollywood". ATI is making a video chip for the Nintendo Revolution with the same code name. Just saying.
