Convergent Application Platform
- By utilizing the high processing power of modern PCs for signal processing
functions, CAP eliminates the need for expensive, proprietary hardware.
- Keeping the UAA hardware simple and implementing functionality in
software makes it low-cost, with reduced product variations.
- Using Commodity PC and Ethernet switches keeps costs low with strong
price-performance evolution.
- By using an Ethernet link between the UAAs and CAP Framework PC, the
system becomes Plug-&-Play and end-customer installable with no
need to open PC’s. This leads to reduced product integration costs,
plus low support and distribution costs.
- Hardware upgrades are non-service affecting – UAAs can be added
on the fly.
- Software-centric flexible architecture allows easy integration of
new functions like video transcoding.
