Entropic and Wistron NeWeb Corporation Debut USB Powered DIRECTV-Ready TV Adapters
January 07 2015 - 8:30AM
CES 2015 -- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader
in semiconductor solutions for the connected home, and Wistron
NeWeb Corporation (WNC), an industry leader in the design and
manufacturing of advanced wireless communications, announced a new
USB Powered Ethernet to Coax Adapter is ready to launch at DIRECTV.
Entropic is leading the way in delivering the lowest power,
highest performance, compact MoCA solutions. The Entropic based USB
bridge from WNC provides all of the functionality of previous
DIRECTV Ethernet to Coax Adapters in a small form factor. This new
USB Powered adapter provides enough throughput to support Ultra
HD/4K video and streaming media services to any DIRECTV-ready TV
bringing the DIRECTV entertainment experience directly to any
television without the need of a separate set-top box. A
DIRECTV-ready TV has built in RVU technology and when combined with
the USB MoCA Adapter, allows consumers to stream from the Genie
server premium content and enjoy DVR functionality without the need
for an additional box.
Using Entropic's EN2562, a fourth-generation MoCA 1.1 solution,
the USB MoCA Adapter is small enough to sit behind the television.
Since it is powered by the television's USB port, it eliminates the
need for an external power supply and reduces the wires and clutter
of a traditional set-top box, providing a more pleasing aesthetic
to the home owner.
"As the industry evolves to 4K UHD it is essential to have key
partners developing solutions together that allow further
proliferation of DIRECTV-ready TVs in the market," said Henry
Derovanessian, senior vice president of Consumer Premise
Engineering, DIRECTV. "This latest USB MoCA Adapter from Entropic
and WNC is a great example of an advanced solution that offers an
easy and economical way to network DIRECTV-ready televisions in a
home."
"Wistron NeWeb Corporation has a long history of working with
Entropic to develop industry leading MoCA home entertainment
networking solutions for DIRECTV," said Johnson Hsu, Vice
President, Digital Home BU, WNC. "Our latest USB MoCA Adapter
continues this tradition with a highly reliable, cost-effective
solution for delivering next generation 4K content."
"The range of uses for MoCA continues to expand as service
providers have come to trust its reliability and
Quality-of-Service," said Al Servati, vice president, Marketing,
Entropic. "With the rise of DIRECTV 4K Ready compliant
televisions and increasing availability of 4K content, MoCA
adapters such and this new USB powered DIRECTV-ready TV adapter
provides a cost-effective and reliable networking
solution."
Availability
The new MoCA USB bus-powered adapter will be available from
DIRECTV in mid-2015. The USB DECA will be demonstrated at CES
2015 in Entropic's Meeting Suite at The Wynn Las Vegas, Alsace
Ballroom, from January 6 – January 9, 2015.
