BCM3250, together with BCM7020/BCM7030 Video Decoder
and Graphics Engine, provide a two-chipset solution for
OpenCable applications.
Includes second in-band channel pass through for picture-in-
picture functionality and multiple camera angles.
Integration of all analog functions leads to lower system cost
and improved performance.
Single upstream transmitter is shared between modem and
upstream interactive video commands, eliminating the need
for a second upstream channel.
Integrated peripheral control unit supports required set-top
box peripherals without additional external devices.
