27M Technologies has developed the H.264 HD twin tuner PVR to meet the requirements for customers in all Europe, with a first version supporting the Boxer markets in Denmark and Sweden.

It has all the features you would expect from a twin-tuner PVR unit, allowing owners to watch one TV programme whilst recording another. The platform features HDMI, SCART and S/PDIF-interfaces as well as e-SATA, allowing low material cost and a flexible solution where users can individually select the size of harddisc. The platform supports Viaccess ACS3.1 with advanced security features and is pre-validated towards required Driver and Integration tests for a faster development. Supporting initially the Boxer market, the platform is designed to be adapted to other markets and operators.

The platform has received great feedback from operators and customers on shortest start-up time, fast EPG and great performance on audio and video, especially in playback mode and trick-modes. The look and feel of the User Interface is designed to optimize usability and simplicity for the users. Colours and branding can be changed upon discussion with our team. It will be possible to upgrade the receiver via over the air download, as well as USB interface.

Gunnar Nilson has a history as Graphic Designer at the Design Center within Nokia Home Communication. His core business is interface design, customization and development for digital TV and Set-Top-Boxes but also applications for PC computers, which includes graphics for icons and layouts. His focus is on Ease-Of-Use User Interfaces with a touch of the typical Scandinavian design Style.

Per-Johan Svensk, Industrial Designer, will be able to offer full-scope blueprints needed to bring a product all the way from conception to the 27M customer. This includes everything from mechanical enclosure to packaging, manuals as well as branded profiles. Per-Johan’s mechanical design approach is best described with the following identifiers – Contemporary, Cost Saving and User Friendly. He always aims at minimizing use of material and production time, without compromising needs for construction changes. In the end his product series are eye-catching with a functional and contemporary look and feel.

Per-Johan Svensk adds tremendous value to the team with a number of set top box and satellite modem designs in his portfolio. Previous set top box designs include the exterior design of the high-end HDTV satellite receiver, LyngBox LB-ST1, mentioned in design magazines as one of the best looking set-top boxes on the market today. The result of his modern and easy-to-use design is also visible in the 27M and Forsway modems; with screws that are only used for fixing the PCB, different parts of the housing are assembled with spring latches and the replaceable front cover can easily be customized for different users.

The Gazelle award means that 27M now represents one of Sweden's top 0,5 percent fastest growing companies in the country. Gazelle companies are elected every year and the following criteria must be fulfilled in order to qualify:

• At least four annual reports must have been made public.

• The company must have sound finances.

The EMMA3SL/HD reference solution will help NEC Electronics and 27M customers to move from concept to product in a very short turnaround time, shorten time to market and reducing R&D costs. This solution is a complete hardware and software platform with low power optimized design, enhanced connectivity features such as USB 2.0 and Ethernet and the latest High Definition MPEG-4 Decoding format.

"NEC and 27M’s combined strengths will once more provide great benefits to our mutual customers on this platform.

Viaccess, a leader in conditional access for pay television and protection of digital content over broadcast and broadband networks, 27M Technologies, a hardware and software design house expert in the field of STB and DTV, and NEC Electronics, a leading developer and supplier of semiconductor products, announced today the availability of a complete cost optimized manufacturer’s kit based on NEC Electronics' EMMA2SL and EMMA2SL/P MPEG2 Digital TV Processors, which drastically reduces the time to market of STBs which incorporate Viaccess CA technology meeting today’s advanced security anti-piracy standards.

Viaccess and 27M aim to increase service operators’ confidence level and choice by promoting a pre-certified, manufacturing-ready but still customizable STB design. With this approach the sophisticated and usually time-consuming design tasks and certification process needed to bring a pay TV receiver to mass production are reduced to the minimum.
A complete hardware kit, schematics and material list up to PCB layout, tested to production level, optimized for low cost and reusability and based on the low cost EMMA2SLx LSIs, is available from NEC Electronics.

27M is offering a reference software combination of the 27M DVB Software stack and Viaccess ACS3.0 Conditional Access which has already passed the Viaccess Certification Process. The Viaccess certification process guaranties that the Set Top Box platform meet the highest level of compatibility with the Viaccess Content protection mechanism.

"Viaccess listened once more to it’s client’s expectations", says François Moreau de Saint-Martin, Viaccess CEO ,"The partnership set forth creates a brand new approach to the STB business by dramatically shortening the lead time needed to design and bring to the market cost effective and high quality STBs".

"The ever increasing need for better time to market and low cost design has to be met with new approaches. With this focused design based on the proven and widely deployed 27M DVB stack, STB manufacturers and operators can enjoy a high quality solution, with very short lead time and excellent support through the products whole life time." says Jan Mårtensson, VP Products and Technology 27M technologies.

"NEC Electronics has built a formidable reputation, experience and market share in delivering complete digital STB solutions stated Daniel Tannière, general manager Communications and Consumer Business Unit. This collaboration brings an additional valuable benefit to manufacturers wanting to develop rapidly CA-enabled STBs on NEC's EMMA architecture."

The reference software based on the 27M DVB SW stack is available in two versions for DVB‐ T; a pan‐European version, and a version for the UK‐market with MHEG5, v1.06 integrated. ”This cooperation strengthen our position as the preferred provider of HW and SW for low‐ cost turnkey solutions”, says Per Elmhester, Product Manager at 27M. The board is designed with components for low power consumption, and will be RoHS compliant to cover European and China ROHS requirements. Per Elmhester: ”It is a very important part of our strategy to also present solutions that meet the increasing environmental requests”.

The reference design will be used as a proof‐of‐concept of the NEC Electronics devices, and as such help NEC Electronics (Europe) and 27M customers to move from concept to product in a very short turnaround time. Jan Mårtensson, VP Products and Technology: “Having this reference design we can quickly adapt the product to customer requirements, and field tests can start much earlier than in conventional projects”.
