- For Xceive Corporation Christina Lau, 303-752-3552 ext. 226 Christina@VisiTechPR.com Xceive Corporation, the market leader in multi-standard RF-to-baseband silicon transceivers for the digital home market, received honors for its XC5000 silicon tuner solution as a finalist in the fifth annual International Business Awards under the Best New Product category. The International Business Awards are the only global, all-encompassing

business awards program honoring great performances in business.

With its small size, unsurpassed performance and low power consumption, Xceive's XC5000 smart silicon tuner solution was acknowledged by members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs for its groundbreaking ability to replace the traditional CAN tuner and accelerate the transition to next-generation silicon tuner technology. Coupled with an on-board digital signal processor (DSP), the XC5000 provides real-time signal quality monitoring that can self tune filter performance to maintain the best quality reception in dynamic signal conditions. With the highest functionality of any TV tuner, the XC5000 effectively minimizes risk for TV manufacturers by delivering consistency with tight tolerance and little variance against bulk production.

"As TV manufacturers face increasing competition from other content providers for the center role in the modern digital living room, they must differentiate themselves on the basis of performance while still appealing to a cost-sensitive mass market," said Jean-Louis Bories, CEO for Xceive. "Gaining recognition from the prominent International Business Awards validates Xceive's silicon tuners as the only tuner solutions with the performance, quality and features required to springboard TVs into the next generation, delivering the ultimate TV experience that today's consumers demand."

The XC5000 is the world's most highly integrated silicon TV tuner integrated circuit (IC) specifically designed for flat panel TVs. Xceive silicon tuners effectively replace bulky traditional CAN tuners, delivering performance and power saving benefits in a much smaller form factor. Offering state-of-the-art performance where both analog and digital reception is required, the XC5000 meets and exceeds industry standards with: A/74, Nordig, CENELEC and open cable. Its highly integrated architecture includes analog demodulation, needs no external SAW filter and benefits customers with lower bill of material (BOM) cost and simplified system design.

Stevie award honorees were selected from more than 1,700 entries received from organizations and individuals in more than 30 countries. The awards presentation is scheduled for Monday, September 8 at the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, Ireland.
