14 DAY TRIAL // Atmel and LG International announced today a new family of laptop computers with DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcast), based on Atmel's ATR2740 DAB baseband processor.
The LG LW40 Express is equipped with Atmel's latest DAB baseband processor, and is the world's first DMB notebook PC. This model features a 14-inch wide LCD screen with a WXGA resolution of 1280x768 and a ratio of 15:9, targetted towards the DVD market. The fine bright LCD installed in this model shows deep and clear images, appealing to consumers who seek enhanced entertainment features.
Also, the DMB notebook PC features functions such as DMB watching and recording, channel registration, broadcast-reception sense indication, and channel scanning, as well as booked recording, picture capture, and intelligent update (automatically downloading software from the Internet and upgrading itself), thus enhancing the user's experience.
The ATR2740 offers high processing power to enable the part to decode the full DAB data rate of 1.8 Mbit, powerful enough to run any DMB service, and still have plenty of free processing power available on the ARM controller for customer software.
The wide flexibility offered by the ATR2740 is given from the large variety of interfaces which can be supported. UART, USB, and SPI are available for control functions, and SSO, SFCO and RDI interfaces, as well as two audio outputs, either I2S or SPDIF, are implemented data interfaces.
