NEW YORK, March 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A set-top box (STB) is a device that is used to convert the video content transmitted from a pay TV operator to a format compatible with an end-user or subscriber TV. STBs may receive the video content from satellite, terrestrial, cable or Internet-based transmission. STBs offer a greater number of channels compared to conventional broadcasting services and further improve the quality of the video content considerably.

With advanced coding and compression techniques it has become much easier to decode high-quality videos using comparatively less bandwidth. The introduction of high-efficiency video coding (HEVC) decoders in STBs is expected to boost the demand for the latter in coming years.
