MOSCOW & MILPITAS, Calif. -- (Business Wire)
CSTB Moscow— Sigma Designs® (NASDAQ: SIGM), a leading
provider of system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for Smart TV, Internet of
Things for Smart home, media connectivity and set-top-boxes (STBs) will
be showcasing the turnkey integration of the open-source Frog by Wyplay
set-top-box middleware with Sigma’s HEVC 4K-capable SMP875x family of
system-on-chip ARM® processors.
As part of this effort, Sigma Designs is contributing the source code
for the porting of Wyplay’s middleware on the SMP8758 4K UltraHD chipset
and will distribute associated development boards to its customers and
partners with the Frog Reference Implementation pre-loaded in binary. In
parallel, Wyplay will use Sigma’s reference design as its next reference
hardware and will make the source code available to all Frog licensees
via the Frog Community Portal at https://portal.frogbywyplay.com.
The Frog Community gathers today a growing ecosystem of more than 75
Licensee companies sharing the same code base. Such companies include
chipset vendors, TV operators, devices OEMs, independent software
vendors and system integrators.
Mustafa Ozgen, Vice President and General Manager Home Multimedia for
Sigma Designs said: “Not only does the SMP875X family offer optimal
performance to price ratio for multiple STB platforms, but its
pre-integration with the Frog middleware means that operators can
introduce new convergent services with maximum velocity.”
“This turnkey integration provides the ideal stepping-stone for creating
new cost-effective HEVC IPTV / OTT client devices,” said Wyplay CEO
Jacques Bourgninaud. He added: “We thank Sigma Designs for their
proactive contribution that benefits all members of the Frog Community.”
The solution is demonstrated at CTSB, Moscow, Jan 27, 2015 - Jan 29, 2015
