Digital audio and video products market has great potential, In-Stat market research firm forecasts that by 2010, digital multimedia market as a whole will reach 36,000,000,000 U.S. dollars. Network technology and new video codec technology development and integration trend has been for the audio and video applications and technologies to ensure the market, instead of a single audio and VoIP applications. The type of end-products are also diversified.

U.S. C2 Microsystems Inc. It is the founder of the first companies to see this video and communication technology integration trend in Silicon Valley in 2004, founded the company C2 Micro, for audio and video applications and network integration of the CC1000 series of network development Digital multimedia processor. It specifically for audio and video applications, compatible with the most advanced network technology (Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11n WLAN), as well as audio and video applications to provide the core chip and a complete solution.

C2 Microsystems in the IIC-07 on the display of a total of 6-based network CC1100 media processor and presentation program. Related to network television, set-top boxes and smart security systems. One of the most unique programs, including mini PVR, intelligent network television and air-shift TV. On the following details about these 3 solutions.

> Personal digital video recorder (PVR)
PVR (Personal Video Recorder, personal digital video recorder) market has grown rapidly in recent years. Related products is expected in the global market scale will soon be over 5,000,000,000 U.S. dollars. As the support for the PVR to record television programs appointment, times have changed, together with the EPG's ease of use, is very popular in the U.S. market. Typical products on behalf of TiVo's set-top box is.

Traditional DVR or DVD recordable drive size, recording audio and video programs can only support MPEG-2 codec, closed system (due to the adoption of DVD chips, usually do not support USB access through the Internet and mobile hard disk). Use of highly integrated multi-media processor SoC's CC1100, PVR products can be as small as 11 square centimeters, with high portability. Single-chip multi-SD and HD video input and output interfaces, SATA hard disk interface, SD card interface, USB and network interface. CC1100's ability to support video codec real-time TV broadcast times, or coding directly to the recording on the hard drive or SD card, or code into a PMP, IPod and Zune portable machine, and so on to support the file format, at any time to watch. CC1100 internal integration of programmable DSP co-processor to support multi-format video decoder that can play MPEG-4, H.264 and RealMedia, JPEG and MP3 music and other media format, the new format of audio and video software upgrade will be able to support. Mobile hard disk can be hung on the CC1100 the USB interface to achieve the expansion of the system. CC1100 running Linux 2.6 kernel and operating system support for FAT, NTFS, and EXT and other file system, access to players and mobile hard drives and SD cards on the movies, pictures and MP3 music files.

The main features:
> Smallest in the history of one home recording machine
> Simulation Built-in TV tuner (PAL / NTSC-tuner), AV input and output terminals
> Can record programs on the hard drive and SD card. SD card support for smart phones can watch
> Hard drive and can play movies on SD cards, music and photos

> Intelligent Network TV
From the beginning of 2006, flat-panel TV manufacturers to start the beginning of the television market some of the differences useful to explore, such as streaming media television and the promotion of time-lapse television. However, due to the limited functions of the chip, the system remains closed, there is no solution to the problem of sharing content, such as streaming TV Unicast not RealMedia format movies, TV times lack the necessary expansion of the interface (such as USB), the record also shows IPod or PMP can not be viewed directly, the network function, let alone on the integration. User experience is not too high, in his wait-and-see stage.

C2 Microsystems in the IIC-07 showing on the CC1100 multi-media processor will be integrated into large-screen LCD television system of intelligent network television programs for information. By the television system and subsystem PVR subsystem consists of two parts. LCD screen LCD drivers and programs to receive television or completion of the chip. CC1100 sub-system is the core of the PVR, the TV system to provide high value-added features, including real-time recording program, recording appointments, times have changed, streaming media and Web functionality. The two sub-systems through video, audio and control data bus and communication. As the CC1100 is a software algorithm codec, high flexibility, television programs can be recorded directly into IPod and file formats supported by the PMP. Can also play MPEG-4, WMV, H.264 and RealMedia format of the video, no longer need to do on the PC machine format conversions or transcoding greatly enhanced user experience and ease of use. Systems support USB or SD card reader, digital camera photos directly in high-definition television. CC1100 support of more than 8,000,000 pixels of the JPEG image decoding. UI and the CC1100 in the operating system to run on, support for the remote control operation.

Traditional embedded products due to performance issues, such as IPTV set-top boxes and mobile phones, usually only briefly visited the custom page. CC1100 running on high-performance PC and browser on the same basic function of IE, you can visit the Internet website Sina, Sohu and Yahoo on the complex web page can be opened in a few seconds, no less than that of the P4 slow the number of 2GHz. With high-performance core browser technology to television for the end of the embedded products and network integration can be a big step forward cross. For example, many free of charge on Internet video sites, including Youtube, six rooms and so on, in order to solve the content of television. At the same time, the market also provides value-added content services.

> Empty-shift TV (Place shift TV)
Air-shift TV is a relatively new technology of television, when he and the corresponding shift TV. Through video coding technology and network technology, users can move video content to any communications network. Equivalent to the mobile space. The most direct use case is the realization of a television program on the move in space, in the past only users at home watching TV, air-shift TV technology will enable users to train, hotel or coffee shop with 3G smartphone or WiFi-enabled PMP To enjoy television at home.

Air-shift TV IPTV technology and a bit similar. Integration of space technology transfer or external TV IPTV set-top box to act as a video server. But we all know the contents of the IPTV has been a bottleneck in the system is very complex, involving content, networks, integrated, end a series of technical and non-technical factors (such as license). In particular, China, which has become a bottleneck in the development of IPTV. Air-shift TV content fully resolved. And to provide 3G operators in the 3G network operators new opportunities for data services. The whole system is very simple framework, communications entirely built on the part of the structure above the existing network. 3G mobile phone terminals can be, or WiFi support for the PMP and notebook computers.
