Conexant Debuts HD-DVR Reference Designs

Conexant Systems announced the availability of two complete, OpenCable-compliant cable set-top-box reference designs for HD digital-video-recording applications.

The vendor said the reference designs are based on its recently announced CX2445X DOCSIS 2.0+ and EuroDOCSIS 2.0+ cable modem integrated circuits, and they can be configured with either Conexant's CX24500 single-channel or CX2427X dual-channel HD MPEG-2/H.264/VC-1 video decoder.

The solutions also include core software and drivers that enable developers to quickly develop middleware and innovative applications for next-generation set-tops, Conexant added.
