OSN and Amlogic Partner to Launch the World’s First Hybrid Set-top Box with the OSNtv Box
The OSNtv Box powered by Android TV version R and integrated with Google Common Broadcast Stack (CBS) is the first product to be deployed with the combination of ATV, CBS, Synamedia, and Dolby Vision, resulting in a world-first technology combination and a revolutionary industry milestone for Amlogic and OSN.
Melvin Saldanha, Director of Technology at OSN, said, “When working with advanced solutions, the commitment and transparency of your partners is paramount, and we are extremely proud of our successful collaboration. With Amlogic we have managed to deliver this project in record time, bringing an optimized look and feel to the platform with an enhanced UX/UI to encourage discoverability that enables an unparalleled premium and exclusive entertainment experience to our subscribers.”
James Xie, Senior Vice President of Corporate Business Strategy, Amlogic commented, “This product clearly demonstrates once again Amlogic’s abilities to provide leading CAS solutions to the Hybrid Operator world. Our undisputable world-leading experience in the Android TV space, and continuing investment in future ATV generations and products such as CBS, make Amlogic the clear choice for future operator projects worldwide. I would like to extend my gratitude to OSN for the opportunity to deliver this groundbreaking project together.”
The state-of-the-art Set-Top Box solution utilizes a high-performance Amlogic system-on-a-chip (SoC), the S905C2, providing significant 24000 DMIPS processing power, with low power consumption due to its advanced 12nm silicon technology. Additionally, the solution supports the latest video protection and encryption solution from Synamedia for the Satellite S2 reception, and Widevine + PlayReady DRM’s on the IPTV / OTT aspect of the hybrid product. This includes advanced security measures such as side-channel attack (SCA), hardened security enclave, and protection against clock, voltage, and laser attacks.
