An IP network-compatible reference board provides network connectivity and content for multiple room, multiple screen use in the home. It can be used as an IP network-compatible HD set-top box and adds cloud features to non connected TVs, for multi-room content distribution. The board supports full-HD quality 1920×1080/30 progressive (1080/30p) content. It also achieves an 88% reduction in size, a 170% boost in performance, and a 25% decrease in power consumption in comparison with the company's existing boards. The board measures 56x21x11mm and can be connected to a TV or other screen devices. It supports two kinds of audio and video output: MHL (mobile high-definition link) and HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface). The MHL version can be plugged directly into the MHL interface of a TV or other device. An SoC, built around the dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 with the NEON media extension is mounted on the board. It also incorporates an on-chip AV engine capable of decoding HD content, which allows playback of full-HD quality of 1920×1080pixels/30 progressive (1080/30p) in multiple formats such as H.264, MPEG4, and VC-1. The 2D/3D graphics engine allows for implementation of a user interface. The reference board also supports WiFi, to connect devices.
