ViXS' XCode((R))( )Network Media Processor System on Chip (SoC) delivers best-in-class
performance to provide a global solution to the emerging mobility media
gateway with integrated router capability

TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - ViXS Systems Inc. today announces a
partnership with Wyplay to develop advanced gateway solution based on
the XCode( )4300 family targeting new home architectures where the router and

puts all the intelligence and processing in the gateway and reduces the
complexity and cost by leveraging consumer electronics products as
viewing devices such as smart TVs, PCs, tablets and smart phones. This
new gateway requires high performance multimedia functions and is made
possible using the XCode((R) )43xx network processor and ViXS Xtensiv((TM)) software combined with Wyplay's middleware. Wyplay is a global leader
and innovator in advanced middleware product. This groundbreaking
solution will be showcased at ViXS' Suite G104 at IBC 2012 in the RAI
Amsterdam.

high system performance integrating extensive functions such as dual HD
transcoding, encoding, 2D/3D graphics acceleration and network
processing. This SoC family with best-in-class patented transcoding
technology in conjunction with Wyplay's software creates an innovative
gateway solution offering functionalities such as multiscreen place
shifting, network attached storage (NAS), DVR and secure management and
distribution of content. Using Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA(C))
and HTML5, this gateway can stream video to networked and mobile
devices such as IP based set-top boxes, smart connected TVs, PCs, smart
phones and tablets.

"The One Box gateway is an emerging market where Wyplay believes it has
