functions similar to the Hi 3716H, but
it‘s missing the connections for a video
camera, microphone and eSATA/SATA
hard drives. In practice, this SoC is
meant for receivers that can do without
video telephony and can work with USB
attached storage devices. This permits
very small housings and low power consumption.
conclusion
With these three SoCs, HISILICON
offers the proper solution for three different
scenarios:
1) IPTV- Hi 3716C: A receiver for a
modern Internet connection with Triple
Play. Ideal for the reception of IPTV but
also suitable as a game console, video
telephone and Internet box.
2) Luxury Multimedia Linux Receiver
– Hi 3716H: A top-notch PVR receiver
with which you can not only receive TV,
it can also be used for multimedia and
games.
3) Linux Receiver – Hi 3716M V300:
Compared to the first two, it sounds
much more simplified, but even a „normal“
Linux receiver has its pluses and
in this case it‘s undoubtedly an especially
powerful receiver that can not
only display TV, but thanks to its ARM9
architecture it is also able to handle applications
and games.
Thanks to these three versions, receiver
manufacturers can offer different
models that guarantee compatibility
with each other: Apps that were
developed for one receiver would also
run on the other models.
There‘s no question: in the future
ARM-based processor kernels for receivers
will dominate the market. This
architecture is already widely used today
in countless SmartPhones and Tablets.
There‘s an incredibly large development
community that is ultimately
responsible for the success of the ARM
CPUs; the next logical step would be for
them to be included in receivers.
