Current WiFi technology
based on IEEE 802.11g can not provide enough bandwidth for HDTV
video streaming. The latest WiFi technology based on IEEE 802.11n,
which operating on 5 Ghz frequency band, could support more than 100
Mbps high bandwidth. The Pisces®111 IP-STB utilizes its built-in
802.11n WiFi technology with three MIMO antennas to deliver fast and
reliable streaming of High Definition video content through wireless
in the home, which could revolutionize the TV viewing experience for
the users.
In Europe, the broadcasting of DVB-T terrestrial signals is now
widely deployed, and the free-to-air broadcasting of high-quality
digital content via DVB-T is well established. Therefore, there is a
strong market demand for a hybrid IP-STB that not only can view IPTV
services, but also can receive, decode, and display terrestrial DTV
video content. Foreseeing this growing market demands, the
Pisces®111 IP-STB integrates DVB-T, DVB-C, or DVB-S2 tuner for
receiving digital video signal. Following the path of Pisces®
family, including Pisces®101 and Pisces®102 launched in 2007, the
Pisces® 111 IP-STB can support H.264/MPEG-2/VC-1 formats and IPV6.
Furthermore, a 160G hard disk is optional for Personal Video
Recorder (PVR) function. In the future, TV conference functionality
will also be supported in the advanced version of the Pisces® IP-STB
family.
“We are very excited to launch the Pisces®111, and believe this
product is a breakthrough for XAVi in the video/audio industry. By
integrating core technologies in various applications, we can
provide effective multimedia solutions and innovative values to our
customers,” said Mr. Wenston Lee, XAVi’s co-founder and CEO.
