AMINO TECHNOLOGIES PLC
INTERNATIONAL 'CSI PRODUCT OF THE YEAR' AWARD AT THE IBC EVENT
Award for the best IPTV technology presented for the AmiNET125
Amino Technologies plc ('Amino'; stock code: AMO), the Cambridge based broadband
network software and systems group, has won the CSI Product of the Year Award in
the category 'Best IPTV technology'), ahead of the Microsoft(R) Xbox360(R)
solution for IPTV and Packetvision(R)'s IPTV Addressable Advertising Service.
This is the third international accolade given to Amino's multi-codec range of
STBs in the last two years.
Based on the award-winning design of the AmiNET series of STBs, the AmiNET125 is
a stylish multi-codec STB for IPTV, Video On Demand (VOD) and Internet TV
applications. The AmiNET125 enables two different TV delivery methods:
Internet TV - The AmiNET125 brings Internet TV from the PC to TV using Windows
Media 9 and the Opera internet browser. This opens up a world of niche or 'long
tail' content. The STB plays streams directly from standard Window Media servers
and supports an expanding range of features including WMDRM 10 and Orb Networks'
MyCast software (the world's first integration of the Orb technology in an IP
STB).
Telco TV - IPTV and Video on Demand (VoD) applications are hosted on a flexible,
reliable platform, allowing for the development of new services with the
potential to increase subscriber revenue. The AmiNET125 enables additional
services such as video conferencing, gaming and VoIP, and its adaptive DSP-based
codec allows for the addition of future streaming formats. The AmiNET125 was the
first STB to integrate the AVS codec for the Chinese IPTV market.
Bob Giddy, Amino CEO, said 'This award recognises the innovative and enabling
technology of the AmiNET125 and reinforces Amino's role in shaping the IPTV and
Internet TV markets. This is the perfect way to end an already very successful
IBC event for Amino.'
