Media Player Solutions

We are instrumental in enabling many of the media players on the market. Consumers may now enjoy the content stored on their home network (computer or network storage) or USB hard drive, on their HDTV.

While much of the same functionality is being rapidly incorporated into HDTVs and Blu-ray players, the small form factor of media players enable consumers to take them along on trips, easily move them between rooms, etc. In addition, the large open source community is working on improving the media player products, which is typically not possible for standard CE products.

The media player market is continually offering new features, including:

  • Streaming of on-line movies, TV shows, videos, radio stations, etc. (over-the-top or OTT content).
  • Sophisticated user interfaces (jukeboxes) for navigating videos, music, photos, etc.
  • Support for user-generated subtitles.
  • Integrating a full-featured Blu-ray player.

New features coming shortly include:

  • Ability to play Blu-ray Managed Copies and downloaded/streamed versions, enabling consumers to enjoy their movies any where at any time.
  • Ability to play 3D videos on a 3DTV.
  • Ability to display 3D photos on a 3DTV.

Our family of architecture-compatible Secure Media Processors, media player SDKs, and wide variety of reference designs enable fast development of a media player with a wide variety of feature options:

  • Streaming of on-line movies, TV shows, and videos (over-the-top or OTT content).
  • Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA®) support enables consumers to locate and enjoy content anywhere on their home AV network and effortlessly move or stream this content between DLNA-connected devices.
  • Z-Wave® RF remote control.
  • 3D graphics, enabling dynamic and customizable user interfaces by supporting the flipping, rotating, warping, and moving of images.
  • 3D video, enabling consumers to experience a new level of 3DTV viewing experience in the home.
  • VXP® video processing to improve HD video quality and offer highest-quality SD video upscaling.
