The Amino Freedom features the Intel® Atom™ processor CE4100 and has been specially designed to help meet growing consumer demand for TV-based “Over-The-Top” (OTT) video entertainment. Powered by the first generation of Intel® and Nokia’s MeeGo™ for the TV, the powerful device has been designed to support common Internet formats such as Adobe® Flash and Microsoft Silverlight.
Amino Chief Executive Officer Andrew Burke said: “The US IPTV market is dynamic and demanding – and we continue to innovate to ensure we deliver the products and services our customers need to maintain their competitive edge. Our next generation IPTV devices are designed to deliver high quality performance which, when combined with our extensive partner ecosystem, provides customers with a powerful offering.
“With OTT being a key theme of the show we’re also showcasing our Amino Freedom hybrid/OTT media centre. We showed a prototype at last year’s show which drew enormous interest and we’re delighted to bring the commercial product here this year with a range of improvements including our dynamic new user interface. We look forward to showcasing these exciting developments at what is a key show in the North American market.”
Andrew will also join a panel discussion “Taking Advantage of OTT Opportunities” in the TelcoTV Conference Hall at 3:45pm on Wednesday 10 November.
