ADI intros HDAnywhere

BANGALORE, INDIA: Analog Devices has introduced new HDAnywhere networked entertainment solution that distributes HD video content over all popular wireless and wired transmission transports, including ultra wideband, 802.11n, coaxial, phoneline, and powerline protocols.

It is based on ADI’s wavescale compression; the same JPEG2000-based technology used in digital cinema and broadcast television systems. The HDAnywhere system compresses video in real time, encrypts the stream, and provides it to a UWB, WiFi, powerline, phoneline, or COAX modem – all without visual interruptions.

The receiver decrypts and decompresses the stream and produces an HDMI output, ready to be connected to any HD display. “Different video transport options offer various advantages: some are good for in-room transmission, while others may provide better coverage for an entire house,” said Bill Bucklen, director, Advanced Television Segment, Analog Devices.

“The HDAnywhere networked entertainment platform is the only solution that adapts to all wired and wireless networking technologies while maintaining optimal video quality.” It can accept video and audio in any common format, including standard definition composite and component, and HD content in analog component or an uncompressed digital form.

This addresses evolving entertainment systems, which incorporate a mix of HD and legacy components.
