N.A.T. announced the NAMC-ODSP, a powerful new AdvancedMC™ (AMC) module that enables telecom equipment and service providers to add video and audio acceleration to their AdvancedTCA® (ATCA®) and MicroTCA® (µTCA, MTCA) systems. The NAMC-ODSP combines a powerful Xilinx Kintex-7 FPGA with an array of up to eight Octasic OCT2224M DSPs, an on-board switch and advanced media gateway software.
It is designed to accelerate applications such as session border controllers, carrier grade media gateways, media servers / media resource function, mobile video optimization (transcoding and transrating), audio/video conferencing servers (MCU), interactive voice and video response systems, and content detection and analysis systems.
Capable of supporting up to 5,120 channels G.729AB/G.711 transcoding, 112 simultaneous H.264 HD/SD transcodes or 16,384 TDM channels, the NAMC-ODSP provides a broad range of audio/video codecs and algorithms, including H.264, MPEG4, H.263, and G.711, G.729, SILK and Opus, in a single-width mid-size AMC module package.
The on-board FPGA provides a local Linux processor for low-overhead management to the interfacing host system, while also giving customers headroom for further extension and customization.
Each of the eight DSPs has twenty-four DSP cores to provide the specialized processing power needed for video and audio acceleration. Each DSP is equipped with its own private external 512MB DDR3 memory.
“This new multimedia processing engine offers network equipment and service providers with a very flexible architecture so that they can easily prototype, develop and deploy,” said Heiko Körte, Vice President and Director of Sales and Marketing at N.A.T. GmbH. “N.A.T. can also adapt the NAMC-ODSP to suit customers’ application-specific needs with for example, fewer DSPs or a larger FPGA.”
N.A.T. provides an integrated Ethernet-based API for simple connection and configuration, and to simplify the attachment of Octasic’s Vocallo media gateway software. This provides rich audio and video applications based on IP and TDM, with many codecs and protocols included, such as high density H.264, MPEG4, H.263 video codec and G.711, G.729, SILK and Opus voice transcoding. N.A.T. has enhanced this standard functionality with video and voice quality features such as video scaling, mixing and keying as well as echo cancellation, conferencing and adaptive noise reduction. This covers many advanced audio / video applications, conferencing systems, audio / video transcoding, video surveillance and T.38 fax relay applications. The software provides an Ethernet packet-based configuration API so no DSP programming is required.
