Toshiba selects ViXS' XCODE chip to provide video over IP networks.ViXS Systems Inc. has announced that the ViXS' XCode chip, which provides broadcast-quality video distribution over any local, wired or wireless IP network is now integrated with the new Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC TAEC Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. TAEC Thailand Atomic Energy Commission ) AVM AVM 1 Acute viral meningitis, see there 2 Arteriovenous malformation, see there 79R reference design. The TX7901 MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) The execution speed of a computer. For example, .5 MIPS is 500,000 instructions per second; 100 MIPS is a hundred million instructions per second. reduced instruction set computer (processor) Reduced Instruction Set Computer - (RISC) A processor whose design is based on the rapid execution of a sequence of simple instructions rather than on the provision of a large variety of complex instructions (as in a Complex Instruction Set Computer). (RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. ) processor-based AVM79R reference design is a leading-edge evaluation system targeted at media center applications. TAEC will make the AVM79R reference design available to manufacturers seeking to reduce their development costs and speed their time-to-market for digital set-top boxes, media gateways and other multimedia consumer electronic platforms that manage networked home entertainment products. ViXS' XCode integrated circuit (IC) can adjust the bit-rates, resolutions and formats of multiple MPEG (Moving Pictures Experts Group) An ISO/ITU standard for compressing digital video. Pronounced "em-peg," it is the universal standard for digital terrestrial, cable and satellite TV, DVDs and digital video recorders (DVRs). video streams in real time, adapting each stream to changing network bandwidth. As a result, products such as media gateway set-top boxes can distribute broadcast-quality video to any networked display device in the home, such as HDTVs, plasma and LCD TV monitors, PDAs, web tablets, personal computers and personal video recorders (PVRs). Each device can simultaneously receive up to eight different programs and fully benefit from networked PVR See DVR. functionalities. By managing the video stream, XCode is the first to guarantee 30 frames per second (FPS) of flawless, high-quality video over any type of Internet protocol (IP) network, including 802.11. Tetsuro Wada, business development and technical marketing director of the TX RISC business unit of TAEC said, "Based on our strategy for the Entertainment Home Gateway market, we chose to collaborate with ViXS because they are the clear leader in delivering broadcast quality video over any standards-based wireless network. ViXS' uninterrupted video stream technology will play a key role in TAEC's Entertainment Home Gateway marketing strategy and will help pave the way for the widespread adoption of entertainment gateways in the home. We're delighted to be working with ViXS on this reference design." "TAEC's decision to work with ViXS validates the consumer need and demand for a truly flawless video viewing experience," added Sally Daub, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Focused on video stream management, the XCode chip brings an innovative approach to successfully overcome the technical hurdles to offering absolute quality of service for wireless video over IP. We're very enthusiastic about working with a consumer electronics leader like Toshiba in bringing this capability to the mass market." |
