Advanced Video Codec
The support of low-bit rate advanced video codecs provides Operators with the opportunity to grow revenue generating services, while maximising the efficient use of network bandwidth and creating the ability to:-
Reach a greater number of subscribers
-
Increase the number of available interactive and multicastchannels
-
Enhance viewing experience with High Definition channels
High Definition
The support of High Definition video offers an exciting and dramatic viewing experience, with greater realism and detail especially in large display formats. If network bandwidth permits, high definition services can exploit the ability of the AmiNET131 to support HD compatible displays at 720p and 1080i resolution, both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
Connectivity
Encased in a small, elegant housing, the STB plugs into the back of a TV Set (and VCR) using the SCART connectors. Other connections are an RJ45 Ethernet socket, Optical S/PDIF for Dolby surround sound, two USB 2.0 connectors on the rear and one at the front together with Power from the plug top PSU. Standard IEC connectors are used for the RF Cable connection, which also provides loop-through to allow analogue services to be passed on to the TV set.
Home Networking
The AmiNET131 supports a range of flexible options including coax, phoneline, powerline and wireless technologies for reliable HD media streaming around the home.
Supported Middlewares
Amino set-top box products are supported by leading IPTV Middleware providers for integration as part of a broadband TV solution. The AmiNET131 also supports development of applications in HTML and Javascript.
Content Security
AmiNET131 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 AmiNET131 supports a variety of browsers including ANT, Espial and Opera.
Application Development
Amino software technology is based on open standards such as Linux and Java. Application developers for the AmiNET131 benefit from JavaScript and Java APIs, which provide full control of the set top box functions.
The Amino JMACX system, provides the developer with a powerful set of HTML and JavaScript extensions which allow simple, and highly effective user interface designs to be created or ported.
The AmiNET131 is also compatible with a wide range of IPTV middleware.
Software Update and Maintenance
The AmiNET131 holds a complete software image in on-board flash memory, and is also designed to support secure bootstrap from a multicast server. At any time, a deployed AmiNET131 can be upgraded with a new software image via the secure multicast server. The multicast approach ensures that very large numbers of deployed set-tops can be upgraded without placing an individual load on the server or the network. For security, software images can be signed with keys unique to each deployment.
