Entropic Communications, NXP Collaborate to Develop High-Performance Home Networked Set-Top Box Reference Design
Entropic Communications and NXP Semiconductors today announced that they will demonstrate a MoCA(r) (Multimedia over Coax Alliance) enabled, high-performance, set-top box (STB) reference design for the satellite, cable and IP STB markets at the International Broadcasters Convention (IBC) 2009 in Amsterdam. Through their ongoing collaboration, NXP and Entropic are enabling STB OEMs and service providers to bring complete home networked STB solutions to market faster, with lower development costs and ultra-low power consumption.
The joint reference design will feature NXP's newly unveiled PNX847x/8x/9x, the world's first family of fully integrated 45-nm STB system-on-chip (SoC) platform incorporating multi-channel broadcast receivers, and Entropic's third-generation MoCA 1.1-compliant EN251x single-chip network controller solution. Entropic and NXP will be showcasing a MoCA-enabled DVR reference design, which enables multi-room DVR functionality, allowing consumers to watch content stored on a single digital video recorder from any room in the house. The reference design will take full advantage of MoCA, the standard for home entertainment networking using existing coaxial cable in the home, to enhance the end user's connected home networking and HD video entertainment experience.
