Groundbreaking Applications
Capable of supporting up to 4x HD performance, the ZN200 class of media ICs combines a wide range of encoding, decoding and transcoding capabilities with graphics, DRM, and a powerful host processor.
Products in this family offer a number of industry-leading features including:
-- Multi-format, HD to HD transcode and transrate capability at up to 4 simultaneous real-time HD MPEG2 or high-profile H.264 streams or up to 10X faster than real-time for HD to portables including cell phones, iPhones and iPods, PSPs, and Windows Mobile devices
-- RemoteGUIDE© server-based graphics and RemoteCRUISE© server-based smooth trickmodes for up to 4 channels of HD
-- Multi-format, full-duplex encode at up to 2 streams of HD and 8 channels of SD
-- Fully programmable high-speed TransDRM© engine with support for all popular formats including Multi-2, Marlin, Safia, DTCP, WMDRM
-- Fully programmable audio transcode supporting all popular audio formats
-- Host application and network stack processing at up to 2500 DMIPS
-- Dual 1080p60 HP H.264 decode for 3D playback with MVC
-- Many IO interfaces including PCI, PCIe, USB 2.0 OTG, SPI, multiple TS and HD/SD pixel ports as well as support for both DDR2 and DDR3
With this unprecedented set of features and capabilities, the ZN200 class enables a wide variety of groundbreaking applications including:
-- Bitrate reduction from up to 4 HD tuners for much more recording time on any storage device in DVRs, HDTVs, and Blu-ray players
-- Guaranteed Video Quality of Service (VQoS) with extremely low latency over wireless and wired home networks such as WiFi, HPNA, Powerline, ENet and MoCA for up to 24 independent displays
-- Low-cost upgrade of MPEG2 STBs for staged operator plant upgrades to H.264 without full replacement of millions of installed boxes
-- Simple adapter for STBs to enable high-speed distribution of HD DVR content to portable devices and cell phones
-- Single box whole-home HD DVR, NAS or Media Server with support for existing installed base of networked displays such as digital picture frames and portable devices
-- PC TV, capture and DVR with high-speed editing capabilities
-- High density transcoding, and encoding at low-power for professional headend and network equipment including adaptive bitrate streaming support
-- 3D playback in STBs, TVs and Blu-ray players as well as distribution equipment
Zenverge's ZN100 class shares many of the same features found on the ZN200 with a performance of up to 2 HD transcodes. These devices can be configured as either embedded or USB bus-powered secure media co-processors. The ZN100 class is designed to support lower BOM cost for applications where the full performance of the ZN200 class is not required.
