Application Development Detailed Specification
Amino software technology is based on open standards such as Linux and Java. Application developers for the AmiNET103 benefit from JavaScript or Java APIs, which provide full control
of the STB functions.
Microwindows is provided to support graphics based applications, such as the Browser. This includes the Amino JMACX system, which provides the service operator with a powerful set of HTML and JavaScript extensions. The JMACX extensions allow simple, and highly effective user interface designs to be created or ported.
Software Update and Maintenance
The AmiNET103 may hold its software in Flash Memory, which can be minimal for network booting, or increased to hold the full software image. Software updates can be completed securely in the field using Amino multicast server software.
Installation Accessories
The AmiNET103 connects to the television using a Phono to SCART or Phono-Phono lead. Installer configuration is on-screen via internal HTML pages.
Support Products
Application Developer Kit
Complete documentation and support for the various APIs, available under a separate license agreement.
Multicast Loader
The Amino multicast server software ensures that any DHCP-configured Amino set-top (such as the AmiNET103) 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 head-end, and transmits the software image in a continuous carousel, ensuring rapid start-up regardless of the number of set-tops in the system. It is therefore completely scalable.
