FEATURES BENEFITS
RipStream technology combines support
of multiple HD streams, software protocol
stack management and security
High throughput; two HD MPEG2 or multiple MPEG4 streams
Two bidirectional TSI ports which directly
interface to video processing functions
Handles multiple HD streams concurrently
Integrated 10/100 MAC/PHY with HP
Auto-MDIX
Complete networking solution that eliminates the need for special
“crossover” cables when connecting LAN devices together
Crypto block supports both DTCP-IP and
WMDRM 10
Provides DRM copyright protection. Flexible support for major
industry standards; eliminates need for separate crypto device
Video codec agnostic Handles any video codec (MPEG2, MPEG4, WMV9/VC-1, H.264/
AVC)
Can boot from Flash memory or host
processor
Reduces need for additional components
Integrated DLNA, UPnP and TCP/IP stacks Consumer Electronics interoperability; ability to recognize other
UPnP devices and offload host TCP/IP implementation
Highly flexible software architecture;
customer can decide whether LAN9131 or
host runs UPnP stack
Allows ease of integration to various architectures; allows system
designer to optimize the architecture to application needs
