`
`LOS ANGELES — To demonstrate its technology prowess and
`devotion to residential gateway development, Philips came to the
`Western Show this week and quietly showed off an advanced home
`server system. Behind closed curtains, Philips revealed the "central
`gateway" system to a handful of select U.S. customers and cable
`operators.
`
`The feature-rich prototype, developed under a project code-named
`"Rooster," runs on two TriMedia processors. It sports three TV
`tuners to watch, send and record video. It has connections to the
`Internet, wireless IP telephony, and full infrared and Bluetooth-
`based home networking systems.
`
`The server, with 16 Mbytes of RAM, a DVD player/recorder, CD
`recorder and a 27-gigabytes hard-disk drive, can be operated by
`voice. A fingerprint recognition system embedded in its small touch
`screen-based remote control unit communicates the fingerprint
`information to the home server, which then can identify the user.
`Presumably, that information would enable the server to offer a so-
`called "profiled-based service" by sorting out the user's preferred
`music and video selections to make navigation easier.
`
`"This is to give an idea to service operators what a central gateway
`system can do for our home," said Greg Pine, senior technology
`strategist at Philips Digital Networks (Eindhoven, Netherlands).
`
`The central gateway system is still only a concept, said Pine. But
`the integration of a broadband receiver, a home network system
`and a variety of storage systems in one large shiny box is attractive
`to system vendors and service operators, if they're eyeing average
`consumers, he said.
`
`Multifaceted platform
`
`In the Dutch giant's live demonstration, the central gateway system
`let a consumer use wireless IP telephony as well as watch, record
`and playback video programs. The system allowed another user in
`a separate room to wirelessly download an MP3 file through a
`Bluetooth-based RF home network, offering 720-kilobit/second pay
`load. The system let the user not only listen to the music, but to
`remotely record it on the gateway system's CD recorder in a
`separate room. While listening to the MP3 music file, the user was
`allowed to simultaneously surf the Web on a wireless tablet-based
`computer cradled on his lap.

`
`Philips designed and built the system in Eindhoven. It's showing
`marked the first time Philips had brought a prototype out of Europe
`to the United States for demonstration.
`
`Of the two TriMedia 1100 processors inside the system, one is
`designed to handle asynchronous information, while the other
`handles isochronous data, according to Pine. The software platform
`used in the central gateway system is based on Digital Video
`Broadcast (DVB)'s Multimedia Home Platform engine.
`
`The current prototype system also uses an Intel processor, Pine
`said, but only as a placeholder to pre-process Bluetooth protocols.
`
`Philips has recently moved the company's headquarters for set-top
`box activities to Sunnyvale, Calif. The group is now called Home
`Access Solutions. Of the 3,000 people working within the group
`worldwide, 800 of them will be based in Silicon Valley. Philips
`currently holds the No. 2 position in the worldwide set-top market.
