Nixeus Fusion XS Brings Marvell into the DMA Market

The DMA (Digital Media Adapter) aka media streamer market has been dominated by Sigma Designs, Realtek and of late, the Intel CE 4xxx series. The low end market is catered to by the Boxchip and Amlogic based media streamers.

Having got the codec compatibility right (at least on paper), the choice for the media streamer manufacturers was to either go the 3D route or add extra non-core functionality in the next-gen products. 3D is yet to go mainstream despite the best efforts of the top tier manufacturers.

In 2011, you can expect a slew of media streamers running Android. The TViX Xroid A1 has already been announced and demonstrated to be running Android on the SMP8656. Read on for our coverage of the launch of another Android-based media streamer, the Nixeus Fusion XS, which also happens to be Marvell's debut vehicle in this product space.
