Magnum Semiconductor Enhances Low-Power Transcodec Chip for Place-Shifting and Content-on-the-Go on a USB Power Budget
Magnum’s DXT-LP Offers Network VBR Functions to have AV Streaming More Enjoyable and Compatible on Home Networks and the Web
MILPITAS, CA–(Marketwire – Jan 6, 2010) – Magnum Semiconductor, the personality in
compression processors for Broadcast and Consumer markets, voiced today
new enhancements that urge the peculiarity of consumer knowledge of
streaming AV calm on a network, both inside the home and on the go.
The Magnum DXT LP Low energy HD encoder transcoder supports a far-reaching variety
of Input and Output formats, together with MPEG2, AVC and VC-1, all the way
from 1080i to reduce fortitude for streaming to a far-reaching accumulation of
appliances together with HDTVs all the approach to portables and intelligent phones. In
addition, the DXT-LP supports faster-than-real-time transcoding. Magnum has
also combined a absolute Audio codec to await the accumulation of audio types
required, together with low, adaptive bit rate for mobile applications.
Finally, Magnum has extended the height to await 3rd celebration security
vendors. The DXT fortitude protects calm via the flow.

place- and device-shifting applications requires worldly technology
to broach higher video and audio peculiarity in the many challenging
situations,” settled Gal Garniek, VP Marketing and Sales at Magnum
Semiconductor. “Magnum has grown network adaptive technologies which
support quick channel change, seamless changes in resolution, bit-rate,
frame-rate, and alternative characteristics of the outlay bitstream on the fly so
that consumers reception this calm on a phone or broadband network will
have a smooth, gratifying knowledge underneath any circumstance.”
The DXT-LP media-processor achieves this attainment by the make use of of Magnum’s
powerful and exclusive media-processor architecture, that delivers

technology grown for the Broadcast market. The DXT thinly slice product family
implements high-quality transcoding regulating a full resolve and full re-encode
to show off the peculiarity of the results, all in real-time or faster. In
addition, Magnum’s DXT provides an optimal user transcoding, as good as
best user peculiarity of knowledge (QOE) with
network-based rate adaptation, seamless support and fortitude changes, thus
providing higher application efficiency, higher video peculiarity at lowest
bit rates and most appropriate user experience. Magnum’s record is graphic from
other processors that have been formed on re-quantization or that do not support
seamless network adaptation.
