Report: HDTV Silicon Sub-Component Revenues Anticipated to Hit $6.7 billion by 2011

TMCnet Contributing Editor
 
The HDTV Silicon Ecosystem is reporting today that the outlook for the HDTV silicon ecosystem is strong due to recent innovations across functional partitions, maturing regional standards, combined with image quality and cost breakthroughs as outlined in its recently introduced 2008 report, according to Display reports.


 
The complete report profiles 92 unique HDTV semiconductor companies and their products, which includes component-level pricing and company-specific roadmap analysis.

Among the four competing HDTV silicon sub-architectures that could dramatically alter current leadership positions, the detailed findings uncovered a powerful inflection point, according to the company. As it is expected to decrease from a dominant position of 58 percent market share in 2008 to 29 percent by 2011, today’s 4D sub-architecture, defined in the report by the number of discreet ASICs leveraged, their functional partitioning and the use of unified versus discreet memories can be taken as an example, company officials say. Over the same time period, the 4D sub-architecture’s corresponding system electronics bill-of-materials is expected to decrease from $53 to $44.
 
“Due to the rapid change within sub-architecture design, the HDTV silicon ecosystem is expected to consolidate from today’s 100+ firms to 25 -40 companies by 2011. This consolidation will likely result in 3 to 5 large firms that compete across all HD functions, along with 2-3 specialized firms within each primary HD silicon category. This consolidation is a logical next step as the industry pushes to achieve a region-free, single-die ASIC or multi-chip module that physically and functionally integrates all of the required HDTV processing blocks,” said Christian Prusia, chairman of Display Insights.
