IP Set-Top Box

The Quartics QV1721 provides the industry's premier System-on-a-chip (SoC) for a feature-rich High Definition IP STB. The IP STB can now offer true screen-shifting (PC, TV, Mobile) without requiring any additional boxes or software. The IP STB now becomes the focal point for any digital media content being displayed or shared within the home.

The Quartics QV1721, firmware, and associated software stacks allow telcos and other service providers to offer their subscribers the delivery of quality-enhanced HD Internet and traditional content.

Quartics’ Qvu™ Video processing technology includes support for decoding, encoding, and transcoding of all industry standard popular codecs and supports HD resolutions up to 1080p. Available codecs include MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, VC-1 and Flash, allowing a subscriber to view most of the content on the Internet in HD.

Support for HD encoding enables advanced applications such as High Definition Live Chat or video teleconferencing, editing subscriber content , (such as pictures and videos), and efficiently compressing subscriber content in HD to save storage space on home servers and iPods. Transcoding support provides the ability to transfer content from one codec to another to conform to device capability. An example of a supported transcoding application is transferring video content stored on the home server to an iPod to take on the road.

The Quartics SoC includes support for security, designed to provide complete content protection such as that mandated by Blu-ray (AACS, BD+) and other Conditional Access schemes commonly used in the IP STB market.
