Cortina and Zenverge Design Cost-Effective Solution to Deliver HD Video to Smart Mobile Devices

Cortina Systems, Inc.  (Cortina®), delivering innovative technologies that link people and networks worldwide, and Zenverge, a leading developer of advanced content networking ICs, today 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 today want to have the multi-screen experience where they can view content anywhere, anytime, on any device.

The reference platform utilizes Zenverge’s ZN200, an industry leading 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 TransAllTM transcoding engine.  

“Collaborating with Zenverge is an opportunity to bring to market the very best combination of video service gateway and video transcoding technologies in one system,” said Dr. Stewart Wu, Vice President at Cortina Systems, Inc.   “Our collaboration underscores both companies’ commitment to delivering cutting edge, bandwidth efficient, and high quality video services to client devices.”

“The Cortina solution was the natural choice for Zenverge when deciding to create a reference design highlighting the video transcoding abilities of the ZN200,” commented Shawn Saleem, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Zenverge. “At the IBC tradeshow September 7-11, Zenverge will demonstrate multi-channel transcoding utilizing the Zenverge ZN200 and Cortina CS7542 digital home service delivery platform to distribute video to six client devices.”

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
