ViXS(R) Announces Quad Transcoding with MoCA2.0 for DOCSIS Media Gateways
ViXS XCode((R)) 5100 family, the first commercially shipping, quad stream HD transcoder
and XConnex(TM) 1030 enable converged DOCSIS Media Gateway applications
TORONTO, March 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - ViXS Systems Inc. announces today two
System on Chip (SoC) solutions enabling DOCSIS media gateways - the
XCode 5191, a quad HD to HD transcoder, in production today, and the
XConnex 1030 MoCA2.0 solution, general sampling in Q2 2012. Both
devices are cost optimized to be used in DOCSIS media gateway
platforms.
As cable operators near completion of the roll-out of DOCSIS3.0
infrastructure, DOCSIS media gateways allow operators to take advantage
of the high downstream bandwidth to deliver IP Video over DOCSIS to
subscriber homes. With the rapid adoption of tablets, smart phones and
other mobile platforms, consumers are demanding content on any device
with a capable display, over any home network or outside the home. The
demand for anytime, anywhere entertainment is leading to an explosive
growth in the number of client devices in the subscriber home, and
dramatically altering the consumer viewing experience. The XCode and
XConnex families provide the transcoding and MoCA technologies to
address these trends in DOCSIS media gateways.
The XCode 5100 family presents a powerful solution for quad transcoding
functionality within DOCSIS media gateways. It is bolstered by the
deployed and robust ViXS Xtensiv(TM) software including Digital Living
Network Alliance (DLNA((R))), and transcryption capabilities, and by the unique applications
hosting capabilities found in the XCode( )5191. Integrated with and running on the XCode SOC is the Apple(R) content
streaming protocol software called HTTP-Live server or HLS to support
Apple iPad(R) devices. ViXS transcoding at low bit rates ensures
excellent video quality on iPAD(R) / tablets, PCs and smart phones even
in a bandwidth constrained home network. XCode5191 also integrates dual
Gigabit Ethernet interface providing seamless connection to DOCSIS3.0
modem SoCs. All of this enables an optimal system architecture for
delivery of IP video and seamless integration of video, voice, data,
and Conditional Access (CA) and Digital Rights Management (DRM) in a
DOCSIS media gateway.
"The XCode 5100 family, deployed with pioneering patented and
proprietary technology, has truly set a new standard with its ability
to process multiple high definition streams, and to do multiple
concurrent operations on each of those streams", said David Jones, VP
Marketing & Business Development at ViXS. "XCode 5100 family combined
with XConnex MoCA products provide the ideal platform for manufacturers
designing converged DOCSIS modem / gateway applications."
ViXS XConnex 1030 MoCA((R)) 2.0 SOC delivers 400+ Mbps data throughput over 16 nodes enabling
distribution of multiple HD streams within the home. XConnex 1030 also
supports 500 Mbps of throughput for two node Turbo mode with full
backward interoperability to MoCA 1.1 devices and the ViXS XConnex 1020
and 1025 devices. XConnex 1030 supports MoCA 2.0 power modes and
advanced security features. XConnex 1030 paired with ViXS' XConnex
1000 MoCA 2.0 RF Transceiver with integrated LNA, Power Amplifier (PA)
and Transmit/Receive (T/R) switch provides a robust high performance
end-to-end MoCA 2.0 solution.
Some of the features for XCode 5191 include:
-- High level of concurrency allowing customers to enable whole
home DVR; place-shifting; and content consumption on iPAD and
other tablet devices.
-- Multi stream Real-time HD to HD transcoding and mirror
transcoding, trans-wrapping, and transcryption of up to quad HD
streams to serve multiple Internet Protocol (IP) based devices
within the home.
-- Faster than real-time transcoding of stored content allowing
the user to stream content from one source to another in a
fraction of the time it takes to play this back real time from
the stored media.
-- Ultra low latency for wireless and streaming applications
within the home.
-- Advanced security processor architecture to enable security for
leading digital rights management providers (DRM), Conditional
Access providers (CA), and leading broadcast operators.
-- Supports concurrent 1080p60 encoding and transcoding.
-- Incorporates face detection algorithms for Video Conferencing &
Surveillance applications
-- ViXS patented VQoS (video quality of service) implementation
for maintaining video quality in bandwidth constrained
networks.
-- Dedicated TCP/IP Processor Engine supporting Dual Gigabit
Ethernet for high network performance.
-- Extensive peripheral suite including PCI-Express, multiple
Serial ATA and USB peripherals.
-- ViXS Xtensiv(TM) Software Stack which allows customers
faster time-to-market and greatly reduces required engineering
resources.
-- 40 nanometer process node in flip chip technology.
