G729 Transcoding Built-in Video/VoIP/Data Boards & DSPs
Surf’s Triple Play PTP (Packet-to-Packet) Media Processing Solutions include voice transcoding from any to any codec:
G.729, G.723.1, G.711, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, EVRC and more…

Advantages of Using SurfWare-Media for Transcoding G729 and other Codecs
  • Voice, Video and Fax/Modem processing on the same DSP
    Other solutions separate Voice & Video processing (different DSPs/host) causing system to be unbalanced.
  • Direct DSP—network interface for lowest possible delay
    Solutions with DSPs that do not have direct IP network interface suffer from unnecessary delay and bottlenecks.
  • Open Platform
    Vendors are able to add SW modules to the DSP code, in order to create a competitive advantage, without the need to recompile the DSP or host interface code Closed system solutions don’t allow vendors to add value to the media processing sub-system. External memory is a must for providing an open platform.
  • Support for various applications with the same HW/SW
    Possible ONLY when Voice & Video run on the same DSP.
  • Streaming diagnostics for quick resolutions of issues
    Solutions without external memory cannot include diagnostics in the release version.

A Complete and Open Solution
SurfWare-Media™ offers an unprecedented range of Voice, Video, Fax and Modem conversion engines. These are offered in various hardware and software integration levels, ranging from software algorithms to DSP-farm resource boards. Surf’s Open Framework enables customers to integrate their own technology easily into Surf's offering, resulting in significantly shortened time-to-market and reduced development costs.
SurfWare-Media supports ITU-T V.18: Termination of TTY/TDD end user equipment, including support for different terminals defined by the V.18 standard. In these cases, SurfWare-Media acts as a building block for the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS).

SurfWare-Media for Media Gateway Developers
Developers of Media Gateways are facing constant pressure on their pricing criteria. They are also required to improve their offer continuously for the support of legacy and new media types. SurfWare-Media, a field-hardened Universal Port solution, optimized for densities of E1/T1 on-a-chip, offers support for an extensive range of Voice, Video, Fax and Modem features. Additionally, it enables customization by facilitating the integration of Media Gateway technologies into Surf’s solution by developers.

SurfWare-Media for Messaging System Developers
Developers of Voice and Video Messaging, Unified Communications, IVR and Attendance systems need to efficiently and reliably convert data that arrives from various networks and in diverse formats into storable file formats and vice versa. These store-and-forward systems are particularly sensitive to communication bottlenecks. Relying on available temporary storage of up to 24MB per DSP (when using the recommended hardware configuration), SurfWare-Media provides efficient Host-DSP communications for continuously smooth operation.

SurfWare-Media for RAS System Developers
In the market of RAS systems, manufacturers are continuously struggling to offer new and unique solutions. With SurfWare-Media, RAS system manufacturers can lower their solution's cost per-port, get higher density per chip (up to 32 ports) and offer new features, such as same-chip support for VoIP and RAS calls. These enable them to increase their competitiveness in a tough market.
