Overview

        VoIP and IP Video Phone options are logical extensions in a triple-play IP STB solution. A majority of IP-STB solutions employ a powerful DSP for media processing and a RISC processor for networking, user interface and application level protocols.

        Ittiam’s iPVP solution on TMS320DM64x™is engineered for easy integration into emerging IP STBs.

Salient Features

        •Packaged at a DSP sub-system level subsuming all video and speech processing and telephony components
        •A rich set of application programming interfaces (API) facilitates easy integration within the IP STB application on the RISC processor
        •Scheduling of the media engine tasks is handled by the DSP sub-system using an operating system (OS) abstraction layer to achieve high-quality lip synchronized playback
        •Using suitable driver level abstractions, the DSP subsystem enables multiple video, speech capture and playback devices to be interfaced to the DSP
        •Networking and call control framework is suitably abstracted to be OS and IP stack independent and can run either on the RISC processor or on the DSP itself
        •In another form, the offering is available as a framework supporting speech, telephony, networking and call control on the RISC processor to provide VoIP capabilities
