Telegent Systems TLG2300 TV Tuner

Telegent Systems has just unveiled its new TLG2300 TV tuner that is so tiny, you won’t believe your eyes. How small is it exactly? Well, how does 10mm x 10mm sound to you? This could very well be the next popular peripheral for netbooks, although we’re sure the battery life will take a serious hit – something netbook owners can ill afford if they’re going to use it away from a power outlet the entire day. The TLG2300 TV tuner has integrated the following features into one diminutive package :-

• RF Tuner
• Demodulator
• Decoder
• DSP & audio/video processing
• Scaler
• Worldwide TV stereo
• FM stereo radio
• USB 2.0 connectivity

In addition, it is the first single-chip CMOS in the industry to support DVB-T, PAL, NTSC, SECAM and FM Radio signals. Future firmware updates will also enhance its functionality down the road, reducing the chances of it being obsolete so early in its life cycle.
