IPTV is one step closer thanks to an innovative new product from Pace Micro Technology (pic.l), the world`s largest dedicated developer of digital set-top box technology. The company has developed the World`s first hardware H.264 decode set-top box - the IP215 - to provide telcos and operators with an entry-level solution for the lucrative IPTV market.
The IP215 uses the latest silicon technology to enable MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression decoding to take place in the hardware, replacing more expensive software based solutions. This hardware decoder, based on H.264 video compression technology, enables bandwidth to be utilised much more efficiently while also providing far superior quality pictures - offering operators a high performance, entry-level solution.
