H324/3G-324M Compliance
In Surf's Triple-Play media processing products, voice, video, and data can be processed simultaneously on a single DSP, using a single system. The result is a cost-effective and scaleable system allowing step-by-step migration from 'Voice only', to a 'full Voice and Video' system. It lowers the migration costs for equipment vendors, allowing them to integrate Triple Play solutions into their existing products.

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 Systems 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.

Enabling Easy and Fast Development and Integration
Surf Open Framework
SurfWare-Media enables solution providers to integrate their own software into SurfWare-Media's existing feature-rich media-processing capabilities. The integration is completed in a few simple steps:
- Developing a new algorithm based on the Surf Open Port API guidelines
- Compiling the new algorithm
- Linking the new algorithm with the existing media-processing libraries
- Updating the application-level H file to contain the new controlling/monitoring structures
|
Integration with Customer Application
SurfWare-Media includes a range of components for fast and simple integration into the customer's application. They include:
- An abstraction layer for hardware transparency
- Host OS support for Linux®, VxWorks™ and Windows®
- Support for Ethernet and HPI/PCI communication paths
