MULTIMEDIA PROCESSING AND DELIVERY
The broadcast and multimedia content delivery industry has been rapidly migrating to a digital format and IP-centric infrastructure while at the same time upgrading from Standard Definition to High Definition (HD) resolutions. Competition among vendors as well as between delivery infrastructure choices (cable, fiber, satelite, over-the-air) has spurred the need to add more functionality and provide more support of multiple coding standards.
Current architectures are running into limitations, including:- Networking bottlenecks as the head-end equipment migrates from 1Gbps to 10Gbps
- Ability to quickly integrate new evolving codec standards
- Headroom for supporing higher resolutions and new features
The Tilera TILE processors combine powerful video and audio signal processing computing with high-speed IP networking capabilities, delivering an integrated, easy-to-program solution. A single TILE64 processor can process more than 3000 HD MPEG streams over a 10Gbps Ethernet link for video-on-demand applications and can encode H.264 1080p video in real time.
Streaming Servers and On-Demand Appliances
In “head-end” content delivery servers and video-on-demand appliances, the TILE64™ processor provides a high-performance, programmable solution for data plane processing.
