DiBcom to Launch New Mobile TV Solution (ISDB-T) in Latin America

PARIS, February 10/PRNewswire/ -- DiBcom, a leader in the market for components dedicated to
mobile TV reception, is announcing the launch of the DIB10096, a new circuit
based on the programmable, multi-standard Octopus platform. The DIB10096,
already available, supports Japanese ISDB-T in Full-Seg and One-Seg as well
as European DVB-T, the two most widely used standards in the world today, and
even more so since the recent launch of ISDB-T in Brazil, Argentina and
Chile. The boom in DTT in South America offers huge potential for this new
circuit.

The DIB10096-a high-performing, flexible solution!

The DIB10096 circuit offers a high-performing, flexible
solution which responds to the problems associated with the increase in the
number of TV standards being introduced throughout the world. The new special
features of the DIB10096 include Full-Seg reception (allowing high definition
up to 1080p) and integrated Multi-2 descrambling which is used for protecting
high definition broadcasts in Japan. By integrating DiBcom technology,
manufacturers of TV receivers are now able to deliver digital mobile TV to
South America, in high or low definition, in ISDB-T(Brazil, Argentina, Chile)
or DVB-T(Columbia, Uruguay).

DiBcom-providing solutions in mobile TV reception throughout the world

The DIB10096 is particularly relevant to the digital mobile
multimedia player,GPS,mobile phone and datacard (3G keys+TV) markets. In
Europe, just like in Asia and Latin America, these sectors are becoming
increasingly important because digital TV is gaining a foothold by offering
more programmes with better image quality.What's more, manufacturers are
continually developing new products which offer consumers greater
functionality. In South America, multimedia devices which include mobile TV
functionality are especially popular as they enable the consumer to watch TV
without the need to buy a specific TV receiver, which is more expensive.
Since the arrival of the iPhone, smartphones with large HD screens have
created enormous demand for high definition mobile TV on such devices,
particularly in South America just before the football World Cup.

"With this new solution, we are strengthening our positioning
and presence in the world of mobile TV and high definition.We are benefiting
from the rapid growth of mobile TV in South America and the imminent digital
switchover in Japan, two very demanding markets when it comes to quality TV,"
says Yannick Levy, CEO of DiBcom.
