Consumer demand for media-rich home entertainment services is driving innovation and new revenue opportunities in the set-top box (STB) industry.
Next-generation STBs will become hybrid devices, integrating video content from multiple signal sources such as broadcast television, premium video-on-demand and Internet-based over-the-top video services, providing value-added capabilities like time-shifting, and allowing content to be distributed to a variety of viewing devices including multi-room TV networks, personal computers, portable media players and other mobile devices.
