The CX2416x IC family is integrated into a fully engineered
interactive TV STB reference development system that implements
third-party interactive middleware/real-time operating system (RTOS)
software and provides a complete set of STB low-level drivers
based on the Nucleus+, VxWorks and Linux operating systems.
A mature and robust hardware abstraction layer is assured by
reuse of core driver libraries developed over three generations of
production MPEG ICs. The STB development platform hardware
is designed with a flexible architecture that supports multiple front-
end tuner/demodulator NIMS.
common Platform for Satellite, cable, and Terrestrial
STB manufacturers increasingly look to leverage a common
hardware platform that can be reused over various broadband
networks, including satellite, cable, terrestrial, DSL, and Ethernet
Internet protocol (IP) networks. Conexant’s CX2416x IC can serve
as a common back-end platform that easily interfaces to a variety
of broadband front-ends, including QPSK, QAM, OFDM, VSB,
ADSL/VDSL, 802.3, 802.11a/b/g, or IEEE 1394 through either TS
or PCI interface. This provides a flexible STB solution that can
be targeted to a variety of broadband operators while minimizing
hardware/software development costs.
The CX2416x is also fully compatible with the CX2418x
co-processor to provide bandwidth-efficient MPEG-4 AVC/
H.264-compliant advanced-compression bitstream decoding.
The company’s broad portfolio of semiconductor products also
includes client-side DSL and cable modem solutions, home
network processors, broadcast video encoders and decoders,
digital STB components and systems solutions, and dial-up
modems. In addition to its IEEE 802.11a/b/g-compliant wireless
local area network (WLAN) chipsets, software, and reference
designs, Conexant offers a suite of networking components
that includes solutions for applications based on HomePlug
and HomePNA
™
. Additional products include a complete line
of asymmetric and symmetric DSL central office solutions,
which are used by service providers worldwide to deliver
broadband data, voice, and video over copper telephone lines.
