An early adopter of the SAT>IP standard, iWedia has developed an end-to-end solution
including both a server and a client software.



It has integrated its server software, which has received SES ASTRA certification for
Version 1.2 of the specifications, with the Broadcast to Broadband Bridge (B[3]) family of
chipsets from ALi Corporation, which are targeted at satellite, cable, and terrestrial
headless broadcast to broadband gateways.



These SoCs are highly optimized for transforming up to eight High Definition (HD) TV
channels into IP format while consuming less than 500mW.



iWedia server software gives support to both dynamic (unicast) and static (multicast)
operations. The mode of operation is chosen per tuner.



A Web UI allows configuring and administrating the server through any Web browser.
Software upgrade is also possible though the Web UI.



Support to TR-069 protocol and to an extension of the TR-135 data model can be added
to make the product remotely manageable.



"We are delighted to reach such an important milestone with ALi Corporation," says
Hans-Juergen Desor, CEO of iWedia. "ALi is able to manage multiple ranges of SoCs
including this one dedicated for broadcast to broadband gateways and we want to accelerate
the go to market of their OEMs with the availability of our certified SAT>IP server
software on their chipsets."



"Broadcast to Broadband needs are increasing with the growth of tablets or HDMI
dongles as second screen. We do believe in the headless gateway and dedicated applications
to be the right way to provide broadcast quality content on multiple devices. The joint
offer of ALi SoC and iWedia software will ease the development of new products from OEMs,"
says Tony Chang, General Manager of ALi's International Business Unit.
