SEOUL, South Korea and
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- At this
month's IBC exhibition in Amsterdam, Alticast, a worldwide leader
in open standards based software for video service delivery and
Entropic (NASDAQ: ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions
for the connected home, will demonstrate Reference Design Kit (RDK)
and RDK set-top box solutions. The IBC demonstrations, which take
place September 13-17, in the
Alticast booth (Hall 1, F36) and the Entropic Meeting Suite (Hall
13, Suite G106/G107), will showcase Alticast's proven RDK
integration expertise on Entropic's powerful system-on-a-chip (SoC)
platform – to offer more competitive RDK-based IP set-top box
(IP-STB) solutions for global Pay-TV operators.
Alticast is an expert RDK system integrator working with major
US, European and Latin American operators to leverage RDK as part
of the transition to IP. The integration between Entropic and
Alticast expands the breadth of RDK SoC providers, giving operators
new options when selecting their STB solution. Alticast combines
standard RDK or extended RDK for DVB Networks with Alticast's
Application Framework providing operators the flexibility to
implement specific content delivery and business
solutions.
Entropic was one of the first RDK licensees and offers both
single-core ARM® Cortex™-A9 (EN7584) and dual-core Cortex-A9
(EN7588) processors bundled with its leading Multimedia over Coax
Alliance (MoCA®) connectivity solution. With an Entropic RDK SoC
solution, Pay-TV operators can deploy a range of cost-effective
MoCA-enabled IP-Client devices that will run native and cloud-based
applications.
"The Entropic and Alticast collaboration brings together two
market-leading innovators offering operators versatility when
implementing RDK. We welcomed the opportunity to work with
Entropic allowing us to expand our RDK footprint," stated
Thomas Jung, CMO, Alticast,
Corp.
Roger Gregory, Entropic's vice
president of Marketing added, "Alticast's experience with RDK
allowed quick integration with the Entropic STB SoC and MoCA
platform. The integrated solution allows operators to
accelerate their move to new IP-based STB solutions, which is
critical in the evolution from traditional broadcast to
gateway/client architectures."
About RDK
The Reference Design Kit (RDK) is an

Source RDK platform was created with the expectation of reduced
time to market by providing a set of key software and hardware
modules that expedite the deployment of new set-top boxes into
existing environments.
