Reference-design platform aids in the development of multichannel PCIe video boards.
PLX Technology and Conexant Systems have announced a reference-design platform for the development of multichannel PCIe video boards The platform, featuring the PLX' PEX 8111 PCI-to-PCIe bridge and eight Conexant Bt878 video decoders, enables designers to quickly create PCIe-based video-surveillance boards and other powerful video systems with up to eight channels, double the number currently on the market

Switched-PCI alternative for storage
As storage-system makers begin to adopt alternative interconnect technologies, switched-PCI is providing them a means of expanding and improving the overall performance of their systems.
The platform demonstrates the high-bandwidth capabilities of the PEX 8111 and reflects the bridge's ability to manage eight or more independent video streams.
Additionally, the board at the heart of the platform was migrated from conventional PCI, illustrating the ease with which designers can upgrade their existing products based on conventional PCI to the rapidly expanding PCIe interconnect technolog
