ViXS Launches Multi-Stream MPEG / 802.11a Video/Wireless Solution

ViXS Systems, a start-up based in Toronto, announced the availability of "Matrix," an 802.11a processor optimized for delivery of multiple streams of wireless video. The Matrix device, which is designed for "gateway" appliances, uses two 802.11a channels to enable the distribution of quality video to multiple wireless devices. When combined with the company's XCode MPEG/video network processor, the Matrix solution can guarantee broadcast-quality video streams at 30 frames per second. XCode's MPEG chip is a multistream transcoder that maintains QoS for up to eight real-time digital video streams. The combination of Matrix and XCode allows media gateways and access points to stream video simultaneously to a variety of digital and analog devices such as TVs, next-generation plasma- and HDTVs, laptops, Webpads, and PDAs, that are using basic "off the shelf" 802.11a device cards.
