The acquisition includes Trident’s complete digital TV product portfolio, including its digital TV SoC (system-on-chip), frame-rate-conversion (FRC), and extensive SmartTV software suite, as well as some legacy analogue TV products. The acquisition includes these products, intellectual property licences, software and leased facilities.
