Set-top boxes take web browser onboard
Amino now offers the Opera Browser as an option for shipments of its AmiNET110 set-top boxes, and will also work with Opera to integrate browser technology into next generation products
to set-top box (STB) OEMs and ODMs, semiconductor manufacturers, service operators and system integrators. In addition, service operators and integrators may also licence Amino's award-winning set-top box designs with unique signature form factor through IntAct Software. The IntAct IPTV solution consists of both a client software stack and IP STB server management tools which represent the culmination of more than 150 man-years of product development, third party interoperability and pre-integration.
This ensures that IPTV operators can use IntAct with the widest range of middleware, conditional access, silicon, head-end system and browser technology.
This pre-established interoperability, linked with IntAct's lean architecture, drives down the deployment costs and reduces the time to market of the complete IPTV system.
Therefore operators see a return on their investment much faster and can source equipment powered by IntAct from a number of suppliers, further lowering the risks associated with IPTV service deployment IntAct has been successfully deployed in more than 500,000 set-top boxes in 80 commercial roll-outs.

'The IntAct software stack and hardware reference designs are already established leaders in the market, with more than 500,000 IntAct-enabled set-top boxes deployed'.
'By licensing them separately, we intend to bring increased choice and flexibility to the market while reducing risk, financial cost and time associated with IPTV service deployments'.
