Evolution of device platforms

The popularity of IP/OTT services and technological improvements in the video domain has resulted in a surge of powerful Set-Top-Boxes (STB) with advanced capabilities. Apart from providing a great video experience, STBs can now interact with a wide range of smart home devices, increasing the set-top-future box's relevance. As a result, STB is establishing itself as the smart hub/brain of the connected home ecosystem.

Our Set-Top-Box engineering experience, along with digitalization, immersive entertainment, and home gateways, enables us to build new possibilities for STB OEMs. Given the rapid expansion of technology and personalization as the driving force behind all the future innovations, speed to market and improved user experience is critical.

The shift from Linux and proprietary stack-based legacy media devices (STBs) to open source-based new-age platforms has resulted in new product development processes and models to meet the need for IP-based video consumption.

The Android TV platform & RDK-V (Reference Design Kit for video) are both open-source and standardized software platforms for STBs and smart media devices used by OEMs and operators to develop and deploy rich consumer experiences faster.
