Actions Microelectronics — 3 prefixes (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- Actions Microelectronics is registered to MAC prefix
D0:C0:BFand 2 more in the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins withD0:C0:BF, that block was registered by Actions Microelectronics — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- Three MA-L blocks at one consistent Shenzhen address plus a live, identifiable fabless chipmaker with a public product line (photo-frame SoCs, AM8268H wireless-display SoC) clears the abstention bar for a substantive entry. No independent device-in-the-wild sighting of these specific prefixes was found; device-type attribution rests on the vendor's own pages, not third-party corroboration. No vendor-specific security advisories or CVEs found.
About this vendor.
A MAC address starting D0:C0:BF, FC:19:28, or 40:5A:DD belongs to Actions Microelectronics, a Shenzhen, China-based fabless chip designer, typically seen on digital photo-frame system-on-chip boards and wireless-display transmission chipsets rather than general-purpose PCs or phones.
The IEEE OUI registry lists all three blocks under the registrant name "Actions Microelectronics" at a single consistent Shenzhen Software Park address, which is itself corroborating evidence — a shell registration would rarely hold three separate MA-L blocks at one address. The vendor's own site documents a 2006 founding and a product line built around photo-frame SoCs (reportedly 10 million chipsets sold by 2012) and wireless-display receiver chipsets such as the AM8268H, a Miracast/P2P-iOS-compatible part in the DisplayPass consortium.
This registrant is distinct from "Actions Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (Cayman Islands)," a separately-worded OUI registrant (F4:4E:FD, Cayman Islands mailing address) already covered by its own finalized entry, vendor-actions-semiconductor. The two share a name fragment but are separate IEEE registry rows and must not be merged.
No independent device teardown or in-the-wild MAC sighting corroborates these three specific prefixes beyond generic aggregator restatements of the IEEE record; product-and-device context comes from the vendor's own pages. No vendor-specific security advisories or CVEs were found. IEEE publishes no assignment date for any OUI block, so none is recorded here.

- Analyst note
- three MA-L blocks at one consistent address plus an identifiable, live fabless chipmaker with a public product line clears the abstention bar for a substantive vendor entry; however no independent device-in-the-wild sighting of these specific prefixes was found, so device-type attribution stays Likely rather than Confirmed[Confirmed reasoning] — see angle notes
