As OTT set-top boxes continue to evolve into the central hub of living room entertainment, consumer expectations for audiovisual quality and interactive gaming experiences are constantly rising. As a key upstream component provider in this ecosystem, chip vendors play a critical role in shaping the user experience. Those who can deliver superior platform solutions stand to gain a significant advantage in this rapidly expanding market.
Jingchen, a leading fabless semiconductor company, specializes in high-end consumer electronics solutions. Recently, DTS, Inc., a global leader in crystal technology and high-definition audio enhancement, announced that its quad-core S802-H chip now supports DTS-HD decoding. This makes Jingchen’s S802-H the first chip in the STB/OTT set-top box industry to offer full DTS-HD decoding capabilities.
With this advancement, users can now enjoy richer sound details and lossless audio sources through their OTT devices or streaming platforms. This integration enhances the overall audio-visual experience by aligning high-quality sound systems with HD visuals, delivering a more immersive entertainment experience.
From a technical perspective, the DTS-HD decoder SDK is built from the ground up, offering comprehensive support for various DTS-HD configurations used in streaming media and OTT content. It also seamlessly works with traditional DTS formats found on physical media like DVDs and Blu-ray discs.
**Key features of DTS-HD include:**
1. Decoding the highest quality audio streams from sources such as digital transmission, VOD, OTT, and broadcast.
2. Advanced decoding technologies that enable processing of next-generation audio formats.
3. Support for low-bitrate (LBR) streaming media with wider bitstream flexibility.
4. Adaptive streaming that adapts to varying bandwidth, storage, and network conditions.
“Support for the latest audio formats and higher resolution video is just as important as performance for our customers,†said James Xie, Vice President of Business Strategy at Crystal Technology. “Our customers are looking for SoC solutions that combine power, performance, and features. We believe the S802-H is the perfect fit. With support for the latest audio and video formats, it enables our customers to deliver 4K streaming media with immersive DTS surround sound.â€
“In the Android STB and OTT space, Crystal Chen has become a popular SoC solution provider, especially in fast-growing markets like China,†added Joanna Skrdlant, Vice President of DTS Solution Certification. “We’re excited to partner with Amlogic to bring the S802-H to market, offering DTS-HD decoding for UHD streaming and mixed media content delivery.â€
In summary, while new technologies continue to emerge, it's the hardware that ultimately brings them to life. Faster and more efficient product integration opens up greater opportunities for industry growth. Jingchen has taken a strong position in the DTS-HD decoding field, and we look forward to seeing what they will bring next.
