Features:

◆The BCM70015(marked as BCM970015 in the old version) Crystal HD is a video/audio hardware decoder in the PCIe Mini Card half-height form factor. It is designed to reduce CPU utilization and allows for full HD real-time decoding support for mobile platform solutions. The BCM70015 single-chip Crystal HD advanced media processor is a low cost, low power (less than 1 W energy consumption), highly integrated solution for high definition (HD) video playback applications.
◆It is targeted for multimedia applications such as HD playback and broadcast and other TV sources.
◆It is excellent for use in small form factor systems that require high-end graphics support but can't compromise power consumption or platform footprint.
