Overview

The Jazz architecture is a compelling solution for any application area where media flexibility is important or a high performance user interface is required. The value-added solutions derived from the unique benefits of the Jazz architecture are explored for a number of application areas:

Network Media Player
Personal Video Recorder
Digital Picture Frame
Digital Signage
IP Camera

Network Media Player

The internet and the home network contain a wide variety of content types and presentation formats. A network media player must enable consumers to navigate to the content they desire and play it back, all within a compelling user experience, yet most network media player designs today support only a limited set of digital broadcast formats and use underpowered application processors.

Personal Video Recorder

The declining cost of storage and the advent of solid state storage in particular puts personal video recording in the sights of an increasing number of consumers. While television broadcasts are going digital in some markets, the reality for most consumers worldwide is traditional analog broadcasting.

Digital Picture Frame

Displaying pictures imported from a digital camera is now just one of the features supported by digital picture frames. Wi-fi and wired connectivity, streaming from on-line photo sites, RSS feeds of timely information such as news, weather and traffic, digital broadcast support and streaming video will soon be commonplace.

Digital Signage

In an interactive multimedia age, it becomes increasingly difficult to communicate with consumers using static displays of information. To get and hold people’s attention, communications are becoming dynamic, with extensive use of video and rich media content. As communications become more creative, the display device must become much more sophisticated, but most digital signs today are limited to a narrow range of video types and static graphics.
