DILITHIUM COLLABORATES WITH TI FOR
CONNECTING GRID NETWORKS
Dilithium Networks announced that it
is collaborating with Texas Instruments
to jointly provide advanced
transcoding solutions to enable seamless, real-time multimedia communications
between circuit, packet and wireless networks.
These transcoding solutions
will enable the delivery of cost-effective rich
media communications across
networks operating under different protocol
standards. Through its
collaboration, TI and Dilithium Networks will reduce
time to market for
transcoding solutions based on Dilithium's patent-pending
Unicoding
technology.
Unicoding is a breakthrough in signal processing
technology that transcodes in
real time and on the fly between voice and video
standards. Instead of the
normal tandem voice transcoding approach, which
involves complete decode to
pulse code modulation (PCM), the Dilithium
Unicoding solution directly
converts between voice standards in the code space
and therefore not only
reduces the computational workload but also reduces the
algorithmic delay
incurred in tandem transcoding. This results in a higher
channel density per
digital signal processor (DSP).
Dilithium
Networks' Unicoding technology is currently available on TI's
TMS320C6000
devices and is suitable for a broad range of products including
Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP) gateways, multimedia gateways, mobile
switching
centers, international trunking gateways, and video mail
applications.
"Dilithium Networks' Unicoding technology dramatically reduces the
processing
power and memory required to do transcoding between common voice
and video
standards while maintaining a high level of quality," said Brian
Glinsman,
executive director, infrastructure solutions at Texas Instruments.
"This is a
unique technology that will have a big impact on driving down the
cost for
multimedia services."
Dilithium Networks recently announced
the world's first wireless multimedia
gateway on a compact-PCI platform using
TI DSPs. Dr. Marwan Jabri, CTO of
Dilithium Networks said, "TI's high
performance DSPs provide the performance
and memory resources that are
essential for developing high density
transcoding solutions. That is why
Dilithium chose TI DSPs for our Unicoding
solutions."
Transcoders
available from Dilithium Networks include GSM-AMR to/from G.723.1
and GSM-AMR
to/from G.729 for voice and H.263 to/from MPEG4 for video. A
number of
transcoders based on EVRC, SMV, QCELP, AMR-WB will be available in
the coming
months.
