Entropic Communications, Zoran Bring the Next Generation of IP-Based Set-Top Boxes to Market
15 Giugno 2011 - 2:00PM
The Cable Show, Booth #563 -- Entropic Communications, Inc.
(Nasdaq:ENTR), a leading provider of silicon and software solutions
to enable connected home entertainment, and Zoran Corporation
(Nasdaq:ZRAN), a global leader in semiconductors for consumer
electronics, today announced their collaboration to speed the
development of cost-effective MoCA® (Multimedia over Coax)
2.0-enabled IP-based set-top-boxes (STBs). This alliance enables
service providers and their original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)
to harness the power of MoCA 2.0 – the fastest performing, most
reliable home networking standard for whole-home distribution of
high-definition (HD) multimedia content.
As service providers move to IP gateway/client architectures in
the home, MoCA 2.0 will become the standard requirement in
next-generation STBs as future bandwidth-intensive services and
applications will require a high throughput, 'no excuses' backbone
network that only MoCA 2.0 can support.
The Zoran/Entropic reference design leverages the
highly-integrated and optimally-suited Zoran SupraXD® 288 processor
with Entropic's complete MoCA 2.0 silicon and software solution to
enable a new generation of client products with enhanced
flexibility, high speed performance and backward interoperability
to existing MoCA 1.1 networks—all at the lowest possible system
cost.
"We are continually pushing the boundaries in the set-top-box
market, and our partnership with Entropic offers breakthrough
products that will create the most dependable whole-home
distribution network using the existing coaxial cable
infrastructure," said Ram Ofir, senior vice president of Home
Entertainment Division at Zoran. "By working with Entropic on next
generation MoCA 2.0 IP set-top-boxes, we can offer
performance-leading solutions that will serve the operators' needs
of today as well as future applications."
Advantages of a MoCA 2.0 IP media gateway include an extremely
reliable, high throughput connection that is fully backwards
interoperable with previous MoCA 1.x investments; allowing for the
seamless deployment of new operator services, from multi-room DVR
and backbone Wi-Fi extension to whole-home personal content sharing
and immediate access to online applications from any TV in the
home, with zero hiccups.
"Our cooperation with Zoran allows us to bring to life the
service provider vision of the gateway/client architecture," said
Vinay Gokhale, senior vice president of Marketing and Business
Development at Entropic Communications. "Our MoCA 2.0 reference
platform changes the service provider paradigm, allowing them to
offer new revenue-generating services and applications that
ultimately take advantage of the speed, capacity and affordability
delivered by a MoCA 2.0-based IP client set-top-box."
In addition to its collaboration with Zoran, Entropic has
developed an active MoCA 2.0 ecosystem, delivering innovative
solutions that enable Pay-TV service providers to optimize
subscriber value. Entropic will be highlighting many of these
solutions at The Cable Show 2011, booth #563, June 14-16, at
McCormick Place in Chicago.
