Broadcom Corporation, the leading semiconductor solutions provider for wired and wireless communications, has announced that its BCM7252 high-efficiency video codec (HEVC) H.265 system-on-chip (SoC) will power Tata Sky’s first-generation Ultra HD (UHD) set-top boxes (STBs). Tata Sky, which recently unveils the technology, has announced that it has signed a volume deal with Technicolor for deployment of these 4K STBs in 2015. Broadcom announced that it has teamed up with Technicolor and Tata Sky to design and deploy the region’s first 4K STBs. Earlier this month, the company had demonstrated its HEVC-enabled chipsets that provide the compression and higher throughput required by operators and OEMs to rapidly introduce UHD subscriber hardware and content.

Key Features of the BCM7252 Ultra HD SoC:
High-performance dual-core Brahma15 10000 DMIPs ARMv7 processors
2180p60 or dual 1080p60 decode and transcode capabilities
Integrated connectivity peripherals including USB 3.0, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet and MoCA 2.0
Highest level of platform security, content protection and DRM robustness
Dual display allowing presentation of two simultaneous video channels from the same STB via independent HDMI outputs and remote control devices
Dedicated interfaces to a range of Broadcom companion front-end cable, DOCSIS, satellite and 802.11ac Wi-Fi devices.

Its great TS is thinking about the future but they must also add all the missing HD channels soon .. No one will want to buy 4K and suffer because of TS space issues and get stuck with probably 1-2 UHD channels ..
