About C2 Microsystems
C2 Microsystems, Inc. operated in the semiconductor space, focusing on media processor devices tailored for the broadband delivery of rich media content. Founded in 2004 and based in San Jose, California, the company developed programmable System on a Chip (SoC) solutions.

C2 Microsystems produced the CC1100 Media Processor, a software-programmable SoC device specifically for video entertainment applications. These components found use in a variety of electronics, including network media players, personal video recorders, digital picture frames, IP cameras, and Internet TVs.
