SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
• Demonstrates the high performance of the BCM4500
advanced modulation satellite receiver, which supports
QPSK, 8PSK and 16 QAM with a turbo code FEC.
• Supports legacy modes based on DIRECTV® and
DVB-S QPSK standards.
• High-performance direct conversion BCM3440 satellite
tuner exceeds performance of typical single-chip satellite
tuners for increased system performance.
• Highly integrated BCM3440 and BCM4500 devices
enable low-cost implementation with minimal external
components.
• Host software uses the BCM4500 high-level application
program interface (API) implemented in the on-chip
microcontroller contained in the BCM4500.
• BCM3440 also controlled by the host through the
BCM4500 API.
• Highly integrated Windows® software enables evaluation
of all advanced modulation/turbo modes, as well as legacy
DVB and DIRECTV modes.
• Easy interface to PC via parallel port and I2C connector
on BCM94500.
• Interface to BCM4500 Integrated DiSEqCTM 2.0 for
two-way communication with external hardware.
