Ocean Blue Software, a digital TV software developer, is to release its advanced TV software suite on Toshiba’s TC9040x ‘Donau’ series of processors. The new Linux-based software will allow for fast development of reduced component count consumer electronics products, such as set top boxes (STBs), integrated digital televisions (iDTVs), personal video recorders (PVRs), and combination hard disk/DVD recorder systems.
Ocean Blue is nearing completion of the development, which takes advantage of Toshiba’s ICs for ‘free-to-air’ (FTA) and Pay-TV digital television applications. Codenamed ‘Donau’, the TC90400XBG and TC90400FG high performance system-on-chip (SoC) devices simplify the design and reduce time to market.
