ACCESS CO., LTD., a global provider of advanced software
technologies to the mobile, beyond-PC and digital TV markets, today
announced it is integrating its Digital Living Network Alliance
(DLNA) Technology Component and HTML5 Browser software solution
with the latest set-top box (STB) chipset solution from Entropic,
(Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the
connected home. This collaboration will enable cable operators to
meet the FCC mandate for cable STBs to include an industry-standard
IP interface port, and provide DLNA Commercial Video Profile (CVP)
functionality.
ACCESS and Entropic cooperated to develop a complete, robust and
fully hardware-accelerated Premium Video and HTML5 solution,
running on Entropic's EN7588 high-performance STB System-on-a-Chip
(SoC) platform. ACCESS' NetFrontTM Living Connect DLNA software
combined with its NetFrontTM Browser NX 3.0 HTML5 software enables
operators and device manufactures to quickly implement compelling
STB-centric services that can support DLNA guidelines on consumer
electronic (CE) devices. Additionally, with hardware acceleration,
the solution achieved more than six-fold performance improvement by
leveraging Entropic's dual-core ARM® Cortex™-A9 processor with
NEON™ extension.
ACCESS and Entropic will demonstrate video delivery supporting
DLNA Premium Video guidelines at the upcoming Cable Show 2013, in
Washington D.C., June 10-12, 2013 (Booth #2807). The demo will
showcase HTML5 Remote User Interface (RUI) features of the DLNA
Premium Video Guideline.
"Our partnership with Entropic demonstrates ACCESS' ongoing
commitment to fulfilling cable operator's needs cost-effectively
and efficiently," said Kunihiro Ishiguro, ACCESS' CTO. "The FCC
validation of DLNA as a suitable industry standard for cable
operators looking to support the FCC mandate for IP connectivity is
great news as it plays a significant part in standardizing a common
feature set for operators to deliver to their consumers. As a
vendor of DLNA Technology Components and HTML5 Browser solutions,
we look forward to discussing how our technologies can enable
operators to meet the FCC requirement for an IP connectivity
standard."
"Integration with ACCESS' NetFront Living Connect and NetFront
Browser NX 3.0 solutions enable us to help cable operators meet the
evolving specifications of the FCC and DLNA guidelines," said Roger
Gregory, vice president, Marketing, Set-top Box Products, Entropic.
"The inherent efficiency in our set-top box system-on-a-chip
architecture, combined with the superior ARM technologies and its
ecosystem, allows Entropic to offer exciting multi-room and
multiscreen experiences in IP-Clients and Hybrid set-top
boxes."
