broadcastbuyer.tv reports that Tandberg Television has received a further order from DIRECTV, Inc., a leading digital television service provider in the United States, valued in excess of US$7.5m.
The contract will see Tandberg Television deliver the second phase of MPEG-4 AVC HD compression systems during the third quarter of 2005, in support of DIRECTV’s market-leading deployment of High Definition programming.
Even though there is a lot of recent buzz created by MPEG-4, In-Stat reported some time ago that MPEG-2 shipments should experience growth until 2009, building on the $3.8 billion in MPEG Video ICs that were shipped in 2004.
