Malata, a Chinese electronics manufacturer and a division of Wanlida Group, has selected Xceieve Smart Silicon tuner for the latest digital television line. Xceive Corporation has announced that Malata has integrated the Xceive’s XC5000 tuner IC within 19-inch and 22-inch integrated digital/analog television sets aimed for the European and Australian markets.
The integration and architecture of the XC5000 enables Malata to offer differentiated features.
Thanks to the high level of integration of the XC5000, the PCB area occupied by the tuner is reduced to approximately nine cm2 (about the size of half a stick of chewing gum).
Another enhancement is Xceive’s QuickTune technology, which provides ultra-fast per-channel signal detection enabling a complete channel scan of more than 100 channels in less than eight seconds.
Xceive’s XC5000 silicon tuner drives Wanlida’s entrance into the European DVB-T market where each country uses a different variant of major TV standards.
XC5000 supports not only worldwide digital and analog terrestrial broadcasting standards, but also analog and clear QAM digital reception for cable TV broadcasts.
The XC5000 by enabling unique worldwide compatibility with all analog and digital modes provides a simple solution to managing the wide variety of television broadcast formats used in Europe and Australia. These include PAL I in the UK, PAL B (

Featuring tight tolerances across many units, the XC5000 enables TV manufactures to provide the ultimate TV experience for audiences worldwide.
“Xceive’s XC5000 is a multi-standard solution that provides performance and reliability within a single integrated tuner IC. Unlike other competing TV tuners, Xceive’s fast-to-market solution minimizes development concerns like debugging and troubleshooting all of the various analog and digital modes required for European DTV products," said Shang Yong-Jin, general manager of Malata's TV department, in a statement.
“The performance and flexibility of the XC5000 makes it easier for consumer electronics leaders, such as Malata, to reach worldwide audiences using a single chip design,” said Neil Mitchell, vice president of marketing at Xceive.
“The inclusion of the XC5000 in Malata’s new line of TVs for the European and Australian markets is confirmation of our ability to deliver super-sharp video reception of analog and digital broadcasts in a cost-effective, two-layer single system board, providing the ultimate TV experience for viewers,” Mitchell added.
Venture-backed Xceive Corporation enables fast, high-quality TV signal reception in any consumer electronics device, worldwide.
First to market with a one-design-fits-all-TV-standards analog and digital single chip design, Xceive’s QuickTune RF-to-baseband single integrated circuit (IC) TV tuners provide superior performance, low power, and smaller form factor for the development of advanced TV and PC-TV applications.
Xceive’s universal RF-to-baseband analog–and breakthrough RF-to-base band analog and digital–TV tuner ICs reduce the need for OEMs to maintain multiple inventories in order to service a global market.
