This week, at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas - booth CP13 in the Central Plaza - Visteon is
demonstrating its capability by showing how ATSC Mobile DTV further
expands the capabilities of its popular Family Entertainment System
solutions. Visteon - working with ATSC Mobile DTV co-developers LG
Electronics, Zenith and Harris Corporation - is demonstrating a
prototype automotive-grade receiver based on the new ATSC Candidate
Standard, which display local and network digital TV broadcasts
enabling: -- Mobile reception of ATSC digital TV broadcasts from
local stations -- Subscription-free service similar to existing
ATSC broadcast -- Potential to offer premium content with
conditional access "The open standard now being approved by the
ATSC is expected to create new business opportunities in the
automotive sector over the next couple of years," said Kyle
Walworth, senior manager, Visteon global audio and infotainment
architectures. "With ATSC Mobile DTV, Visteon is well-positioned by
its experience with in-vehicle integration to deliver a solution
that will allow consumers to view local and network digital
broadcasts when traveling." ATSC Mobile DTV builds on the
flexibility of Visteon's experience integrating consumer
electronics into the automotive environment, providing vehicle
manufacturers applications with differentiating features that
deliver value. The open ATSC standard, which has broad support by
U.S. broadcasters, will allow TV stations to use their existing
spectrum, towers and transmitters to deliver DTV signals to mobile
and handheld devices. Packaging and installation flexibility of
Visteon's solutions allows automotive manufacturers to adopt
ATSC-compatible products into a wide range of vehicle types. For
instance, screens can be mounted in the headliner, seat backs or
center console and the DVD player can be integrated in the center
console or integrated with an overhead screen module. Using common
platform elements helps reduce installation costs, while support
for both factory and dealer-installed systems meets the challenges
of integrating consumer electronics into vehicles. Visteon
Corporation is a leading global automotive supplier that designs,
engineers and manufactures innovative climate, interior, electronic
and lighting products for vehicle manufacturers, and also provides
a range of products and services to aftermarket customers. With
