Brooktree is an American company founded in 1983 by Henry Katzenstein to commercialize his new architecture for digital to analog converters that was 3-8 times better than the competition at the time.

Brooktree was bought by Rockwell Semiconductors in 1996, which became Conexant in 1998. [cite web|title=Chipdir|url=http://www.xs4all.nl/~ganswijk/chipdir/c/b.htm 080507 xs4all.nl]

Brooktree is well known for their PCI video capture chipsets like the Bt848 and Bt878. These were frequently used by Hauppauge.
