ViXS' 40 nm XCode(R) 5190 sets new standards for media concurrency with six channel HD transcoding
TORONTO, Sept. 10 -- ViXS Systems Inc., a leading provider of smart network multimedia processor solutions that enable a rich video entertainment experience, announced today the latest in its line-up of multimedia processing technologies - the XCode(R) 5190. This highly integrated System-on-Chip (SOC) brings a new level of concurrency and integration, delivering simultaneous six channel HD (high definition) transcoding performance to the set-top box and home media gateway markets.
The XCode(R) 5190 powers set-top box and home media gateway devices by enabling true content mobility, sharing and distribution across multiple classes of devices, including: set-top boxes; HD media players; PCs; laptops; tablets; and mobile phones, within any digitally connected home. ViXS' patented transcoding engine, low power consumption, high levels of integration, and Xtensiv(TM) software stack, create a robust feature set that supports emerging Internet Protocol (IP) based streaming devices, as well as broadcast, Internet TV and Over-The-Top (OTT) video services.
Launched only five months after the XCode(R) 4210, the XCode(R) 5190 has a highly flexible architecture, which is a hallmark of all of ViXS' SOCs. The XCode(R) 5190 is also highly adaptable and scalable, allowing manufacturers to customize their solutions and enable new applications.
"The XCode(R) 5190 and the complete software package from ViXS enable our customers to develop differentiated, yet cost effective media products," said Ms. Sally Daub, President and CEO of VIXS Systems Inc. "Consumer digital media content consumption is evolving to include new devices and applications, and we believe we are well positioned with our technology roadmap to deliver network multimedia processors that provide smart solutions to address these trends."
Key features include:
-- Media Processor SOC with a high level of concurrency and next
generation video quality to enable whole home DVR; place-shifting; and
content consumption on iPad(R) and other tablet devices.
-- Real-time HD to HD transcoding, trans-wrapping, transcryption and
remote user interface (RUI) of six simultaneous streams to serve
multiple DLNA(R) clients within the home.
-- Supports 1080p60 transcoding for upcoming broadcasts.
-- Supports multiple video streaming protocols including Adobe(R)
Flash(R) Player 10.1, Apple's(R) sponsored HTTP live and the
emerging HTML 5 standard.
-- Low latency encoding for wireless and streaming applications within
the home.
-- Advanced security processor architecture.
-- ViXS QoS (quality of service) implementation for maintaining video
quality in bandwidth constrained networks.
-- Dedicated TCP/IP Processor Engine and Dual Gigabit Ethernet for high
network performance.
-- Integration of Cablecard, PCI-Express, multiple Serial ATA and USB
peripherals.
-- ViXS Xtensiv(TM) Software Stack which allows our customers faster
time-to-market and greatly reduces required engineering resources.
-- Low power and compact design.
-- 40 nanometer process with flip chip technology.
The XCode(R) 5190 will available shortly for customer sampling. Please contact our sales department for pricing and further information.
