Zenverge, Inc. announced it has collaborated with Intel and Digital Keystone to develop a powerful hybrid gateway reference platform. This platform is capable of streaming high-quality broadcast TV content to smart TVs, tablets, smartphones, game consoles and other IP-connected devices in addition to functioning as a high speed data and voice gateway. The robust and high-speed reference platform includes the Intel(R) Puma(TM) 6 system on a chip (SOC) technology, which can download broadband speeds of up to 1Gbps to process audio, video, data, and voice traffic, making it the ideal solution for gateways that require high-capacity storage and home-networking capabilities. Leveraging Zenverge ZN200 quad HD Content Networking IC and Digital Keystone Maelstrom media management software technologies, the reference platform can securely process broadcast and OTT content in all formats supported by smart TVs, tablets and smartphones, providing end users with the ultimate in-home multi-screen experience.

Zenverge, Inc. announced that Jon Castor has been appointed to the company's board of directors. Castor is a successful entrepreneur and experienced public and private company director who brings more than 25 years of industry experience to the Zenverge board. He was Chairman of the Board of Omneon for the four years up until it was acquired by Harmonic in 2010. He also co-founded and was promoted to CEO of TeraLogic, until it was acquired by Oak Technology in 2002.

Cortina Systems, Inc. and Zenverge, Inc. announced the availability of a joint reference platform for headless media gateway with transcoding capabilities to stream content to devices that are unable to process broadcast video content. Consumers want to have the multi-screen experience where they can view content anywhere, anytime, on any device. The reference platform utilizes Zenverge's ZN200, a quad stream HD transcoder IC, and Cortina's CS7542, a scalable digital home service delivery SoC. Cortina's CS7542 provides content encapsulation and delivery of IP and broadcast video content for whole home multi-screen distribution. Zenverge's ZN200 transcodes content to any profile, bit rate, or resolution with its powerful TransAll transcoding engine. The CS7542/CS7522 is an ultra high performance multi-services delivery platform, designed to address the paradigm shift occurring in the market place due to the emergence of IPTV technology and the convergence of DVB, router gateways, and DVR set-top boxes. The CS7542/CS7522 creates a new model of a single delivery platform that delivers simultaneous line rate bandwidth for secured data, voice, video, and mobile services without service degradation. Its IPSec and enterprise class QoS/routing performance makes it an ideal solution for powerful digital home and SMB networking appliances. The ZN200 family of content networking ICs is designed specifically to reduce operators' capital expenditures by expanding their traditional set-top box business model to reach a wider range of devices, making it the ideal solution for in-home multi-screen support. The ZN200 enables broadcast operators to efficiently transcode live content to iOS and Android-based tablets and smartphones, deliver high-quality H.264 video content to legacy MPEG-2 set-top boxes, and stream compelling video content to game consoles and other IP devices.
