– THAT Corporation has
recently expanded its dbx-TV® line of digital TV audio decoding
software to cover legacy TV audio standards worldwide, including BTSC,
NICAM, A2 and EIA-J.
THAT
is well known for holding key patents covering portions of the US BTSC
standard for TV audio, which it has licensed to nearly every
manufacturer of broadcast equipment or TV receivers around the world.
Les Tyler, THAT's president, stated, "For many years, THAT
has offered licenses to IC makers for digital implementations of BTSC
encoder and decoder ICs. Chips
based on our Verilog® BTSC code are ideal for digital products like
PVRs, DVD-Rs, and high-definition TV sets."
Tyler
went on to say, “We've developed decoder Verilog code that extends
our previous intellectual property offerings well beyond BTSC, now
covering all worldwide legacy TV standards, including A2, NICAM, and
EIA-J. This code
makes it easy for IC, and TV receiver makers to include digital
reception of legacy TV audio along with the newer digital forms of
recording and broadcast."
Licenses
to this new code are available now.
The technology will be marketed under the dbx-TV brand name.
THAT
Corporation, founded in 1989, licenses patents, trademarks, and other
intellectual property to the TV broadcast and reception industries.
Under the dbx-TV brand name, THAT offers digital (Verilog)
implementations of legacy TV audio receiver standards covering all
parts of the world, including BTSC, A2, NICAM, and EIA-J, in addition
to analog FM stereo. The
