Magnum provides a complete line of Encoders, Transcoders, and Decoders for Broadcast Servers, and coprocessors and SoCs for Living Room Clients
Magnum provides a complete line of Encoders, Transcoders, and Decoders chipsets and manufacturable reference design for Broadcast Servers, as well as coprocessors and SoCs for Living Room Clients.
The company's family of broadcast encoders and transcoders offer a single architecture for all broadcast applications including production, contribution, and distribution equipment. Magnum is the only semiconductor company that harnesses the rich video compression technology from broadcast to provide compression-enabled living room set-top boxes, opening a host of possibilities for download-to-portable and personal broadcasting. Magnum's video compression and video processing technologies allow service providers to achieve maximum video quality at the industry's lowest bitrates, optimizing storage and transmission costs.

Pluto Reference Design
Development with the DXTPro family of professional broadcast encoders, decoders and transcoders is supported by the Pluto reference design & development kit. This kit ships with the Pluto PCI Express add-on card with dual DXTPro chips, pre-installed in a tower PC running Linux and all necessary device drivers. Also included are encode, decode and transcode utilities, board design files and operation documentation. The Pluto reference board comes with 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and ASI outputs.
Distribution | DX7313 Multi-core, multi-standard, multi-resolution, multi-stream, dual-chip broadcast distribution transcoder
The DXTPro DX7313 is a quad-core, multi-standard Full HD/HD/SD two-chip transcoder, which delivers industry's highest video quality for the broadcast distribution segment. It achieves superior video quality through full decode-encode, which is otherwise not possible by competing solutions relying on re-use of encoding information in the source stream. The DX7313 transcodes between MPEG-2 Main Profile HighP Level and H.264 HP@L4.2 for 1080p60 Full HD, as well as between H.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1 HD and SD streams at multiple profiles and levels, including H.264 Constrained Baseline Profile for broadcast to mobile devices. The DX7313 is a complete broadcast solution, including full VBI support.
