STMicroelectronics' UltraHD Video Processor Upgrades 4K Streaming Experience in Synology's Latest Network Attached Storage Device
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Synology's new-generation NAS server benefits from ST's UltraHD 4K
technology delivering multi-screen experience with video-transcoding
support
* Brings more entertainment to homes and more benefits to small business
Geneva, Switzerland; Taipei, Taiwan - December 9, 2015 - STMicroelectronics
(NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum
of electronics applications, and Synology(®) Inc., the worldwide leading Network
Attached Storage (NAS) solution provider, today announced that ST's HD and
UltraHD multimedia server-box platform (STiH412) has been selected for
Synology's DS216play high-value NAS server for homes and businesses.
According to Global Industry Analysts (GIA)[1], the global market for NAS
devices is projected to reach US$7.0 billion by 2017, with the growth primarily
driven by the increase in the number of home and small-business networks,
continued data explosion, and the growing need for data backup and archiving.
"Streaming multimedia content is one of the many things Synology NAS excels at,
backed by our support of an extensive range of destinations: mobile devices,
players, and TVs. The advent of 4K, however, poses a challenge to some of them
due to the high processing power required for playing or transcoding," said
Jones Tsai, Hardware Design Director of Synology. "ST's capable, cost-effective
4K transcoding solution has enabled us to bring to users an ideal home server
that's ready for the 4K future."
"The cooperation with Synology is a successful step for ST in the area of NAS,
an emerging market with high growth potential," said Kelvin Wong, Director of
Digital Product Group in STMicroelectronics' Greater China & South Asia Region.
"Our STiH412 SoC solution helps Synology deliver an even more seamless and high-
quality multimedia-streaming experience, boosting the deployment of NAS
technology and increasing market penetration."
The Synology DiskStation DS216play is a high-value, multimedia-optimized NAS
server. It features real-time 4K H.265 as well as 1080p H.264 / H265 video
transcoding capabilities, allowing users to stream 4K digital TV and movies to
digital media players, mobile handsets, computers, and Smart TVs without
worrying about supported formats. Equipped with a dual-core 1.5 GHz CPU and 1 GB
RAM, DS216play delivers an average of 107 MB/sec reading and 91 MB/sec writing
speeds under RAID 1 configuration in a Windows(®) environment. The built-in
floating-point unit further enhances the user experience for multimedia
enjoyment and thumbnail generation. The DS216play consumes only 15 watts in
access and 6.8 watts during disk hibernation, hence can be an energy-efficient
replacement for a home-theater PC (HTPC).
The STiH412 System-on-Chip in STMicroelectronics' ARM(®)-based 'Monaco' family
provides a full-featured solution for multi-HD and UltraHD IP set-top boxes and
server-box applications. The SoC supports integrated broadcast and broadband
services, combined with the latest set-top-box middleware and broadband software
solutions. ST's Faroudja(® )Transcode Engine delivers best-in-class transcoding
capabilities for multi-screen streaming across consumer and handheld devices.
This allows users to benefit from optimized network bandwidth, while offering an
excellent quality of service throughout the home.
