AmiNET125
|
|
The AmiNET125 is a multi-codec IP Set-Top Box designed for IPTV, Internet TV and Video on Demand applications. |
Summary
The advanced, low-cost chipset features a combined programmable codec DSP and host processor. This enables development of new services to increase revenue per subscriber while offering protection against changing standards. With an Ethernet input and highly flexible audio and video outputs, the AmiNET125 provides an elegant and powerful means of delivering sophisticated interactive digital television including multicast, on demand video and internet access.
Increase Return on Investment
Advanced codecs such as H.264 and WMV9 use lower bit rates enabling more customers to be served with the same infrastructure and increasing the reach of DSL networks.
Reduce the Cost of AVC Transition
Multiple codec capability enables the same STB to be used on legacy and advanced networks eliminating the need for a truck-roll when the infrastructure is upgraded.
Accelerate Deployment
Amino software has been integrated with leading IPTV middleware and Conditional Access (CA) providers to ensure rapid deployment of a proven, reliable solution.
Versatile
The AmiNET125 may be used with a wide range of home networking products, such as Readylinks SmartFoot™, to deliver IPTV in multiple rooms. Configurable audio and video outputs allow old or new TV sets to be used for viewing.
Compact and Elegant
Supplied in a compact and elegant enclosure, based on the award-winning AmiNET100 design, the AmiNET125 adds style to the most visible component of an IPTV deployment. For high volume orders, Amino can provide custom logos and colours to further enhance your brand.
Supported Middlewares
Amino STB products are supported by leading IPTV middleware providers for integration as part of a broadband TV solution. The AmiNET125 also allows development of applications in HTML and JavaScript.
Content Security
AmiNET125 is compatible with a wide range of leading smartcard-based and smartcard-less content protection & rights management solutions.
Supported Browsers
For Internet access, and middleware compatibility, the AmiNET125 supports a variety of browsers including ANT and Opera.
Application Development
Amino software technology is based on open standards such as Linux and HTML. Application developers for the AmiNET125 benefit from the Amino JMACX system which enables full control of the STB functions from the browser. JMACX provides the service operator with a powerful set of HTML and JavaScript extensions which allow simple and highly effective user interface designs to be created or ported. For increased flexibility in creating custom applications ADKs and SDKs are also available.
Software Update and Maintenance
The Amino multicast server software ensures that a DHCPconfigured Amino STB connecting to the network may be rapidly and securely loaded with the latest signed software image authorised by the service provider. The multicast loader is installed on a Linux PC at the headend, and transmits the software image in a continuous carousel, ensuring rapid upgrade regardless of the number of set-tops in the system. It is therefore completely scalable.
Installation
The AmiNET125 is supplied with a country specific plug top power supply, and a choice of video cable. An external ADSL or other modem is required for connection to the broadband network. Installer configuration is on-screen via internal HTML pages.
