Wireless Video & Multimedia

Imagine connecting any HDMI-ready device to your HDTV to view High-Definition 1080p content from your cable box, Blu-ray player, or HDMI-ready computer anywhere in your house. This is possible today over a range of competing and complementary standards. Device connectivity in the 60 GHz band will complement the current family of Wi-Fi technologies and offer Gbps speeds. High-quality, uncompressed wireless links can support video data rates of up to 3Gbps (including uncompressed 1080p) in a 40MHz channel at 5GHz. 802.11 n networks with data rates up to 600Mbps offer improved Quality of Service (QoS) and security and mobility services with better routing and network resilience. The result is no latency issues for voice applications and no jitter in your streaming video.

MoCA 1.1 supports 175 Mbps and connects up to 16 devices over coaxial cables in your home. MoCA 2.0 extends this data rate to 700 Mbps and 1.4 Gbps rates. The higher throughput is achieved through higher levels of modulation and expansion of the operating channel bandwidth to 100 MHz. MoCA 2.0 operates in the frequency range of 500 MHz to 1650 MHz over embedded coax . Service providers can offer compelling new services, such as multiroom DVR, broadband extension and PC-to-TV connectivity that provide consumers with  a more robust and satisfying home networking experience.

G.hn is a new specification for existing-wire home networking and a complementary counterpart to the popular Wi-Fii wireless home networking standard. G.hn targets gigabit per second data rates over all three types of legacy home wiring: telephone wires, coaxial cables and power lines. AC-powered devices will contain a power line networking interface to facilitate integration with home control and Energy Management systems. With operating frequency bands up to 2.6GHz, G.hn will require advanced high performance RF solutions.

Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is also a key element in the distribution of high definition Television. Digital TV reception over the air (DVB-T), via cable (DVB-C) or satellite (DVB-S) offer the potential for a video reception by HDTVs, laptops, Gaming Platforms and set top boxes. This diversity and portability of sources will drive the need for Video distribution in the home, across the enterprise or over the campus.

The trend towards high speed wireless or wired connectivity in a range of appliances requires embedding RF functionality in advanced CMOS processes. RF Integration’s RF and Analog IP cores position you to take advantage of this trend in your advanced SoCs.

Home GatewaysHome Gateways

Home Gateways provide high speed internet connections, High definition TV, voice and video data services and a range of “on demand” applications. A set top box supports interconnections to fiber, cable or satellite networks and distribute video, data and voice over wired or wireless networks in the home. RF and Analog IP cores support a range of wireless connectivity.

IPTV Home NetworksIPTV Home Networks

IPTV Home Networks offer on demand service packages to multiple Set-Top Boxes, multi room DVRs and connections to laptops for a full multimedia experience. Using existing home wiring and 802.11 wireless networks, end users are able to install the and configure their home networks to meet the individual and collective needs of family members. RF and Analog IP cores SoCs that support this flexibility.

Home EntertainmentHome Entertainment

Home Entertainment systems include Internet connectivity using technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or Ethernet. Products not traditionally associated with computer use (such as TVs or Hi-Fi equipment) now provide options to connect to the Internet or to a computer. Integrating the power connection and the data connection provides energy savings and allows the device be turned off when it is not displaying any source. RF and Analog IP cores support this increased connectivity.

EducationEducation

Education is becoming more and more dependent on high-bandwidth video applications as lessons take advantage of multimedia content. Teachers use conferencing applications to share their screen with an entire classroom, or even may teach a class remotely. Video and other applications work seamlessly, even on multiple machines allowing all students in the class to have the same high quality experience. RF and Analog IP cores support this increased connectivity.

Wireless GamingWireless Gaming

Wireless Gaming enables multiplayer games with increasing realism to be enjoyed. Wireless remote controllers free the user to participate in exsersize or motion based games, while game consoles connect over WiFi networks to the Internet. Hi definition audio and surround sound over dedicated wireless connections immerse the user in a complete multimedia experience. RF and Analog IP cores support this increased connectivity.

Health CareHealth Care

Health Care applications demand constant high quality connectivity. Everyday tasks such as administering medicine or checking on patients are crucial, and in some cases, a matter of life or death. 802.11n Wireless LAN Solutions provide rock-solid reliability so that medical staff can fully trust their network connection at all times. It also provides high speed download times so that medical staff can review medical images and other data-intensive files seamlessly. RF and Analog IP cores support this increased connectivity.
