Entropic Communications and ViXS Systems have entered into a collaboration to develop a HD Network Attached Storage (NAS) reference design that enables content capture, storage and sharing over a MoCA home network.
According to the companies, the MoCA enabled NAS reference design will serve as a blueprint for consumer electronic and service provider OEMs to design a high-performance NAS. The NAS reference design showcases Entropic’s, MoCA 1.1 EN2510 single-chip solution and ViXS’ XCode 3290, a DLNA compliant video processing system-on-a-chip (SoC).
The companies said that the NAS reference design leverages the capabilities of ViXS video processing to deliver on-the-fly HD to HD and MPEG 2 HD to H.264 AVC HD transcoded video over Entropic’s c.LINK MoCA 1.1 network to deliver an enhanced entertainment experience.
Sally Daub, CEO and president of ViXS, said: By combining Entropic’s proven MoCA solution with our advanced video processing technology, we are able to deliver a powerful, robust, and cost-effective solution to the consumer electronic market, enabling high-definition video recording capabilities as well as the sharing of both personal and premium content throughout the home over existing Coax cables.
