Mobile Digital TV is regarded as the most powerful application to emerge after mobile phones: While the past 30 years has represented the era of mobile communications, there are believes that the next three decades will be the epoch of mobile digital TVs ("MDTV"). Through close cooperation, and joint strategic development since 2007, Shenzhen aigo R&D Co., Ltd. - a subsidiary of Beijing Huaqi, and Solomon Systech Limited - the only local IC company listed in Hong Kong, have jointly launched a new generation mobile multimedia digital TV known as the WALK TV 5210A featuring MagusCore solution, injecting vibrancy to the industry that is emerging in China and around the world. Supported by Solomon Systech's MagusCore multimedia processor platform, and developed under the China aigo brand, the solution is the result of innovative, joint research and development efforts conducted in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Beijing.
The new MDTV is a pioneering achievement, capable of supporting the China CMMB technology standard for mobile digital TVs. Compared to current MDTVs, which are limited to supporting only video playback and basic mobile multimedia functions, the WALK TV 5210A can carry out the most comprehensive multimedia playback function including complete CMMB digital TV reception and playback operation. Moreover, it has unrivalled advantages over similar products, especially in conditional reception and playback of the terminal and the safety certificate CA that it has achieved. The launch of this product represents an important stimulus, promoting the CMMB technology standard and driving healthy development of China's mobile digital TV industry.
The multimedia processor MagusCore from Solomon Systech provides a complete platform solution to MDTV and also other mobile multimedia applications such as portable media players ("PMP"), personal navigation devices ("PND"), smart mobile phones and mobile internet devices that demand a high performance and low power solution. The MagusCore includes a dual-core multimedia processor SSD1933 and embedded software. It is also the world's first commercially available platform solution to support a multitude of MDTV standards across countries, including CMMB (China), DTMB (Hong Kong, China) and DVB-T (Worldwide, Europe).
