Digivision Selects Microtune’s TV Tuner For High-definition Set-top Box Design

Beijing, China; Plano, Texas, March 15, 2010 – Microtune®, Inc. (NASDAQ: TUNE) today announced that Shanghai Digivision Ltd., a leading company in the Chinese digital television (DTV) industry, selected the Microtune MT2066 single-chip broadband tuner for use in its advanced high-definition cable set-top boxes for the Chinese market.

Based on the Company’s MicroTuner™ platform, the MT2066 chip delivers exceptionally high performance while being priced competitively for high-volume set-top box production. In the Digivision design, the MT2066 low-power (3.3 V) broadband tuner is being used in a high definition dual-tuner architecture that benefits from the MT2066 tuner’s miniature 36mmsize. Supporting the DVB-C standard, the MT2066 enables a rapid universal design for set-top boxes in the challenging Chinese cable TV environment.

“The MT2066 has been specifically optimized for the performance and cost needs of the Chinese cable environment, and it is a great fit for the innovative solutions being developed at Digivision,” said James A. Fontaine, President and CEO of Microtune. “Our local design, sales, and support teams in China have worked with Digivision to streamline its design process and achieve industry-leading performance.”

The MT2066 enables cable manufacturers to integrate the most advanced radio frequency (RF) IC components into their designs, enabling a reliable multimedia television experience, all while meeting the demands for smaller and more cost-effective electronics.
