Technicolor Partners With Entropic to Deliver a Powerful Client Set Top Box
January 08 2013 - 12:00PM
Consumer Electronics Show 2013 -- Technicolor (Euronext Paris:TCH)
today announced it is developing a next generation video client
based on hardware and software specifications developed by Comcast.
Bundled with a multituner gateway from cable operators, the
MediaPlay set top box will deliver IP video to any screen in the
home.
The Technicolor MediaPlay client solution has been built upon
Entropic's TSC188 CPU, boasting over 5000 DMIPS with a dual-core
ARM® Cortex™ A9 core architecture that provides acceleration for
all types of media processing. Further it supports home networking
via its bundled MoCA 1.1 silicon and software solution to ensure a
powerful, stable connectivity backbone. The Entropic-powered
Technicolor MediaPlay client solution supports 3D video and
graphics to render the most advanced interfaces based on HTML5 or
Adobe Flash.
The Technicolor solution is fully compliant with the
Comcast-developed X1 client-server architecture, and supports
DTCP-IP technology and multiple Digital Rights Management (DRM) to
offer full content security over MoCA home networks.
By leveraging the RDK (Reference Design Kit) software
specification developed by Comcast, Technicolor MediaPlay offers an
open solution to develop and deploy new services and applications
more efficiently across heterogeneous cable platforms.
"Comcast is very pleased that Technicolor and Entropic have
developed this client solution," said Steve Reynolds, Senior Vice
President of Premises Technology for Comcast. "The collaboration
between Entropic, Technicolor and Comcast's RDK development teams
will help enable the development of powerful client devices within
highly competitive schedules."
"Our collaboration with Entropic has proven very powerful," said
Barbara Bessolo, Senior Vice President for Technicolor Connected
Home Americas. "As new RDK-compliant applications and services
become available, cable operators will be able to deploy them on
the MediaPlay client set top box and extend the value of their
offering over time."
"Thanks to our collaboration with Technicolor, operators will be
able to more efficiently deliver quality experiences across their
gateway/client architectures," said Mark Samuel, Senior Vice
President and General Manager, Set-top Box Group, Entropic. "Our
leadership in building MoCA networked platforms that support
highly-efficient, media and graphics-rich content helps bring the
power of cloud-based applications to every screen in the home."
