This scheme implements VOD functions, with the disadvantage of inconvenience and costliness. The future will see a mainstream of integrated terminal scheme with TV and IPSTB incorporated.In this thesis, a new LCD-terminal integration scheme is put forward, which is based on EM8624L by Sigma designs. This design transcends all present design available, and will have a magnificent prospect in Hotel TV business. |
