Japanese technology pioneer Macnica has announced a production-ready version of its ME10 System-On-Chip (SoC) for product developers ready to build IPMX-compliant products at scale and without complication.
‘Macnica has developed the ME10 as an all-in-one SoC solution that gets you to market very quickly with your IPMX [Internet Protocol Media Experience] products,’ says Macnica Americas Director of Product Management, Andrew Starks. ‘The ME10 addresses all the challenges of making AV-over-IP work in an open-standards manner that supports immediate interoperability with other vendors and implementations.’
With higher performance through a new Machine-to-Machine (M2M) interface, the ME10 is a complete, interoperable and standards-based AV-over-IP platform for low-power, high-efficiency embedded devices.
The ME10 SoC is a 4K AV-over-1GbE integrated SoC that is purpose-built for high-volume IP product developers building lower-cost, drop-in replacements for existing proprietary solutions. The SoC’s compact form factor is also ideal for OEM designs requiring tight dimensional constraints. The ME10 enables transport of HDMI 2.0 4K 4:4:4 video, audio, and control over standard 1GbE networks within its compact package.
The ME10’s new M2M (Machine-to-Machine) interface reduces time to market by providing a simple REST API that streamlines integration with host processors. For product developers, the M2M interface eliminates the need to work directly with complex FPGAs that by design extend time to market due to lengthy development cycles. As well as faster integration, ME10 boasts a small footprint (23×23mm) for tight industrial and OEM designs and is built for scale.
‘IPMX represents a major milestone for the A/V industry, and it’s the result of years of collaboration across manufacturers, standards bodies, and end-users,’ says Macnica Atlantic Region CEO, Sebastien Dignard. ‘Macnica is proud to have been an early and active contributor to that effort, and with the ME10 we’re excited to help move the industry forward with practical, production-ready silicon that supports open, interoperable standards.’
