Abstract
“The set-top box bill of materials cost has passed a critical juncture.
While variations remain, 2005 was the last year in which the average set-top
box bill of materials cost decreased at a rate of more than 10% per year.
Starting in 2006, consumers proved willing to spend for DVR and HDTV
functionality. This trend is forecast to hold the average set-top box BOM
steady.”
Description
This, the freshly-updated fourth edition of IMS Research' s exhaustive study
covering the markets for hardware and software technologies in set-top boxes
is designed to support product and marketing decisions by companies throughout
the digital TV value chain. Past customers include digital TV operators,
set-top box makers, and vendors selling, software, MPEG SoCs, tuners,
demodulators, conditional access, codecs, and other intellectual property into
set-top boxes.
The study covers the segments:
- Front Ends (Tuners & Demods) by Standard and Number
- Core MPEG SoCs by MPEG-2 vs. MPEG-4, HD vs. HD, and Dual vs. Single Decode
- Separable Conditional Access Module Interfaces & Smartcard Readers
- Embedded Applications Processors by Speed (DMIPS)
- Installed DRAM, Flash, and HDDs by Capacity
- A/V Output Encoders and Digital I/O Ports by Standard
- LAN Interfaces and WAN Modems by PHY
- Power Supplies by Consumption
- Bill of Materials Cost and Total Available STB Manufacturer Spending by
Component
- Operating Systems by Class
- Interactive Middleware by Standard
Data are provided for 2006 - 2013 and cover the three major regions. The
383-page report is primarily quantitative in nature and includes 294 tables
and 108 figures.
