LAS VEGAS, USA: Broadcom Corp. is demonstrating a digital television (DTV) design platform that enables connection to the Web and the home network, allowing consumers to access their personal videos, photos and music from their television. The connected DTV design platform also provides consumers with the ability to view video-on-demand (VoD), access Internet-based TV and participate in interactive TV services.

This demonstration at 2008 International CES leverages Broadcom's field-proven and leading DTV and networking technology that allows consumers to enjoy their content in the comfort and convenience of their living rooms.

With the proliferation of personal digital content, Broadcom is removing the barrier that limits content to the personal computer through the convergence of DTV and networking technology. The high definition DTV is the natural choice for consumers wanting to view and share their photos and videos from anywhere in their home with the best possible viewing experience.

To address this need, Broadcom's CES demonstration includes Best Buy's new video sharing service, which provides a safe and simple way for consumers to share their home movies in a digital video form factor via the Internet.

The CES demonstration will show how such online services, coupled with Broadcom DTV technology, provides consumers with a seamless experience that extends from the creation of content, to the actual viewing and sharing of their content with family and friends on their televisions. Broadcom's demonstration also includes streaming video from a set-top box on a home network while accessing photos from a PC.
