CX2310x
•
Conexant’s portfolio includes a comprehensive suite of semiconductor
solutions for communications and consumer applications.

The CX2310x brings Conexant’s long heritage of audio and video capture
solutions to systems that enable univeral serial bus architectures. The family
of devices integrates all the functions required to perform television and
external A/V capture on personal computers or consumer electronic devices.
The device family includes CX23100, CX23101, and CX23102.

The CX2310x decoders enable the capture of analog and digitial broadcast
streams on personal computers through an integrated Universial Serial
Bus (USB) interface. The devices can capture a single analog stream, two
simultaneous digital television transport streams, or a combination of
analog and digital programming. In addition, analog, hybrid and combo
configurations may be used in conjunction with hardware MPEG encoders.
