StreamEngine 5000 Processor

Important StreamEngine® 5000™ features:

• High Sustained Throughput
  To accomodate the need of continuous high bandwidth packet processing for media applications such as streaming audio and video. This feature is accomplished by zero-overhead context switch, on-chip memory, 10 independent threads capability, which can operate independently as a separate processor.
• Deterministic Processing
  Meterministic Processing gives fixed time for processing for each packet which reduce jitter effect in media application.
• Multiple Concurrent Applications
  The StreamEngine 5000 multithreaded architecture supports 10 independent threads that can each run a different application, while still maintaining completely deterministic processing for each thread. This guarantees that no thread will affect another’s performance.
• Design Flexibility with Software I/O
  This is the ability to control of I/O pins precisely, cycle-by-cycle. This allows the StreamEngine 5000 to interface directly to support chips such as video display drivers or audio processors that require a custom communications protocol. This feature also minimizing bill of materials (BOM) costs by eliminating extra interface or glue components.
• Dedicated Security Engine for Enhanced Security
  StreamEngine 5000 CMP implements DES, 3DES, and AES data encryption, in addition to SHA-1 and MD5 authentication algorithms.
• Native Audio Processing
  Integrated G.711, G.726, and G729AB codecs combined with echo cancellation, adaptive jitter control, RTP/RTSP, SIP, and Intelligent Stream Handling (ISH) provides low cost and high-quality multichannel voice over IP or audio distribution.
