Chipsets Integrate Advanced HD Software

Ocean Blue Software has ported its Sunrise HD DVB, Voyager HD MHEG-5 software and support for BBC i-player on to HD chipsets from Renesas and Trident. This is the latest in a series of co-operations that have resulted in Ocean Blue Software being available on successive generations of key set-top box chipsets.

The Trident PNX847x series of SoCs has an ARM Cortex A9 Processor, multi-format HD STB Decoders, with support for 3D graphics and advanced power management.

The Renesas EMMA3SL/P SoC is ideally suited to low-cost HD and Hybrid zappers and has integrated Ethernet and USB2.0 ports. Its capability for multi-format video enables users to play back standard video formats such as MPEG-2 and H.264 HD as well as China’s AVS, DivX, WMV and VC-1. The SoC is available either as Free-to-Air (EMMA3SL) or with advanced security features (EMMA3SL/P) for Pay TV operators.

Porting the Ocean Blue range of software to this next generation of media processor SoCs will result in an ideal platform for connected TV products. Sunrise DVB and Voyager MHEG are compliant with DTG Freeview software standards. Ocean Blue also offers DVB and MHEG profiles for Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Hong Kong.
