CC1200 is C2 Microsystems’ second generation media processor family for Full HD video applications. It is based on the innovative Jazz 2 architecture, which is optimized for next-generation high-definition broadcast services and broadband rich media applications. CC1200 decodes all current broadcast formats and a wide variety of Internet content formats and performs high quality audio post-processing and video de-interlacing and scaling for high-definition display. CC1200 transcodes content into several formats for place-shifting and for side-loading onto portable devices. CC1200 encodes video for video monitoring, video chat and place shifting applications. CC1200 has a dual-core Symmetric Multiprocessor (SMP) which, with hardware acceleration of graphics operations, delivers very high applications processing performance.

Jazz Software Development KitThe Linux-based Software Development Kit (SDK) combines C2’s expertise in hard real-time audio/video streaming applications with the rich resources of the Linux development environment. The SDK is divided into a number of different elements:

• Operating System
• Development Tool-chain
• Media Framework
• Applications

The SDK architecture is illustrated below:

Operating SystemThe SDK is based on version 2.6 of the Linux open source operating system. The scalability and robustness of the Linux operating system, combined with its strong networking and file system support and low development, maintenance and distribution costs, make it ideal for connected consumer electronic devices. The SDK includes the source code for both system software and device drivers to allow easy customization. Media FrameworkThe SDK includes a complete tool-chain based on the GNU open source tools. The tools enable C/C++ cross-compiling, linking and source-level debugging on the target platform. The tool-chain may be used to build and debug the operating system, kernel-mode drivers, user applications and boot images. Tool-chainThe C2-developed Media Framework encapsulates the streaming layer in a pluggable architecture that allows rapid development and integration of new codec types and content security mechanisms. The Media Framework provides various building blocks for developers to build media applications:

• Core Components – codecs, audio and video pre- and post-processing modules
• Filters – Core Component connection and data flow management
• Media Managers – container of Filters
• Resource Managers – hardware and operating system resource abstraction

ApplicationsThe SDK also includes a number of applications from open source projects, such as the Qt application development framework and the Konqueror embedded web browser.
