ViXS(TM) Delivers the World's Most Advanced Solution for Anywhere, Anytime, Anyplace on Any Device Content Delivery to the Media Gateway
ViXS introduces the XCode(R) 6000 ARM processor-based media gateway family
- the industry's first integrated six HD transcoder media processor and
the first to deploy the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) together
with integrated Multimedia over Coax Alliance (MoCA(R)) 2.0
TORONTO, Sept. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - ViXS Systems Inc. today announces a new
family of advanced network multimedia system-on-chip (SoC) solutions,
the XCode 6000. The XCode 6210 is a highly integrated media processor
designed to address advanced media gateway set-top box (STB) solutions.
The XCode 6308, is a highly integrated media processor designed for
media streaming gateway, network transcoding and media network-attached
storage (NAS) solutions. The XCode 6410 integrates HEVC and supports up
to 4096 x 2160 (4Kx2K) resolution.
The XCode 6000 SoC family offers the best system performance on the
market today with its unique innovative architecture allowing
off-loading of real-time functionalities such as transcoding video
streaming and content place shifting. The XCode 6000 deploys a
dual-core ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-A9 MPCore(TM) core as the main applications
processor. By leveraging the innovative and comprehensive ARM software
ecosystem and ARM's leadership position in the mobile market, this is
the ideal choice to power network media gateways.
The XCode 6000 delivers the highest level of system-on-chip concurrency
with high performance 2D/3D graphics, 3D TV, high network processing
performance, MoCA 2.0 in home networking, best-in-class transcoding
performance, multi-stream de-interlacing, advanced security and power
management with no compromise in performance.
"We are witnessing an increasing demand from consumers for sharing
content seamlessly across many devices, and this will be enabled by
truly portable media content," said Vincent Korstanje, Vice President
of Segment Marketing, ARM. "As a valued member of the ARM ecosystem,
ViXS is driving innovation in the network media processing market by
integrating ARM technology in the new XCode 6000 family and enabling
the seamless content portability that consumers demand on their smart,
connected devices."
"Content mobility has become a technology driver in the industry and is
required by leading operators in order for their customers to access
their content anywhere, anyway, anytime and on any device" said Sally
Daub, President and CEO ViXS Systems Inc. "ViXS has taken the
leadership position with many of the key operators and service
providers by providing stand-alone and deployed media gateways using
our leading edge network media processing architectures. The XCode 6000
is the logic extension of this market leadership position by offering
on a single SoC the capabilities to build this function directly into
the service providers set-top box gateways".
The XCode 6000 family has set many new innovations and performance
benchmarks on the market. These new innovations include:
-- First media processing gateway to integrate the new HEVC video
compression standard to reduce video bandwidth over the current
H.264/MPEG-4 AVC broadcasts and also provide support for 4Kx2K
resolution.
-- By using the ARM Cortex-A9 processor, the XCode 6000 SoC family
has been enhanced to deliver 6000+ DMIPS performance.
-- Integration of ViXS' 7th generation of transcoding and media
processor core. This core delivers higher video quality and low
bit rate enhancements requiring only half the amount of
external memory than previous network media processors.
-- Best-in-class hardware media processing capable of six
concurrent HD transcoding for streaming up to 6 iPads, tablets,
smart phones or other connected and mobile devices.
-- Best-in-class system performance with the dual core ARM
Cortex-A9 processor running together with dual decode, 2D & 3D
graphics, multiple stream transcoding with motion adaptive
de-interlacing concurrently with networking and MoCA 2.0.
-- High performance proven 3D OpenGL ES 2.0 hardware graphics
engine with rendering performance up to 1080P60 and compliance
to FUTUREMARK benchmark delivering double the performance over
the XCode 4000 family.
-- Multi-format HD decoding engine for flexible media processing
of internet Web TV based streaming or Over the Top (OTT) and
Over the Top TV (OTTtv) formats.
-- Advanced hardware security technology supporting the latest
conditional access and digital rights management
specifications.
-- Advanced security memory scrubbing and sandboxing features
providing a very secure Web software platform.
-- Integrated MoCA 2.0 with backward compatibility to MoCA 1.0 and
1.1 providing high throughput and quality-of-service video
distribution.
-- Highest level of networking throughput in this class of product
delivering double the performance over the XCode 4000 family.
-- First introduction of USB 3.0 with networking support in media
gateway product for hard disk drive and high speed
interfacing.
-- Low power design. Advanced power management with active and
passive standby modes.
-- 40 nanometer low power process and flip chip package technology
design.
-- ViXS Xtensiv(TM) software suite including internally
developed software to take customer solutions through Digital
Living Network Alliance (DLNA(R)) certification, Digital Video
Recording (DVR) and Blu-ray stacks as well as third party
middleware stacks.
-- World class content mobility software including Morega's
QewPLAYER, QewSERVER software and Sling Media's Sling Loaded
technology.
