LAN9131
High-Performance Network Multimedia Processing Engine, Featuring
RipStream™ Technology
Industry’s first high-performance, wired 10/100 network multimedia processing engine
employing RipStream technology, which combines support for multiple high-definition (HD)
streams, a software protocol stack management and security.
Highlights
n RipStream technology supporting DLNA
guidelines
Supports multiple HD video streams
Built-in UPnP, HTTP, TCP/IP protocol
stack
Integrated 128-bit AES encryption/
decryption for Digital Rights
Management (DRM)
• Supports Windows® Media
DRM10 (WMDRM 10)
• Supports Digital Transmission
Content Protection over Internet
Protocol (DTCP-IP)

Features and Benefits
FEATURES BENEFITS
RipStream technology combines support
of multiple HD streams, software protocol
stack management and security
Two bidirectional TSI ports which directly
interface to video processing functions
Integrated 10/100 MAC/PHY with HP
Auto-MDIX
Crypto block supports both DTCP-IP and
WMDRM 10
Video codec agnostic Handles any video codec (MPEG2, MPEG4, WMV9/VC-1, H.264/
Can boot from Flash memory or host
processor
Integrated DLNA, UPnP and TCP/IP stacks Consumer Electronics interoperability; ability to recognize other
Highly flexible software architecture;
customer can decide whether LAN9131 or
host runs UPnP stack
High throughput; two HD MPEG2 or multiple MPEG4 streams
Handles multiple HD streams concurrently
Complete networking solution that eliminates the need for special
“crossover” cables when connecting LAN devices together
Provides DRM copyright protection. Flexible support for major
industry standards; eliminates need for separate crypto device
AVC)
Reduces need for additional components
UPnP devices and offload host TCP/IP implementation
Allows ease of integration to various architectures; allows system
designer to optimize the architecture to application needs
