Connect to the OTT experience – with our new enhanced IPTV set-top box range
Amino is a world leader in OTT. Our experience - drawn from working with a tier one operator – gives us unique insights into how to effectively deploy OTT services. Plus we have a clear understanding of the technology - shaping our IPTV offering with innovative new features, including HLS, HTML5 and HTTP upgrade and recovery, to drive new entertainment experiences and improve quality of service.
HLS – delivering a quality OTT user experience
Today’s consumers expect a quality user experience all the time – every time. However, delivering content over the open Internet to the TV can be a challenge. Delays and buffering caused by broadband bottlenecks can cause real problems for IPTV providers seeking to deliver a seamless entertainment experience.
HLS - integrated into the Aminet range of IPTV/OTT set-top boxes – is the ideal solution. An adaptive bit rate technology, HLS allows audio and video to be sent over HTTP from an ordinary web server and then switch content streams intelligently as network bandwidth changes.
HLS also opens up new opportunities for operators seeking to extend their network reach. OTT services such as Video on Demand can be delivered over a wider area – even over competitor networks – with HLS underpinning your quality service offering.
The technology effectively takes “slices” of content, encodes them at different bit rates and then delivers a playlist to the STB, which dynamically selects and displays the best bit rate for local broadband conditions. This means that viewers enjoy a consistent quality user experience – and a broader range of entertainment content.
As a key component in OTT service delivery – together with HTML5 capability and HTTP upgrade and recovery – HLS provides the assurance you need to deliver new, exciting and differentiated services that drive ARPU and retain your valued customers.
Fully aligned and integrated with leading middleware roadmaps including Minerva 5.1 – and forthcoming innovations from other leading players – the Aminet IPTV/OTT set-top box range is available now.

HTML5 – develop richer content offerings by building “walled gardens”
OTT is opening up new opportunities for content owners to deliver great quality user experiences direct from the Internet. HTML5 is playing a key role in driving this – enabling browsers to act as an application platform to deliver multi-screen services without the need of plug-ins.
Open and non-proprietary – with no Flash required - HTML5 is re-shaping how online content is shown on the TV screen. In fact, with major video sites now adopting HTML5, it’s becoming the new popular standard for online viewing. Likewise, HTML5 will support the delivery of Video-on-Demand content and create a quality experience as your customers move seamlessly between broadcast, on demand and content from over the open Internet.
To give you the edge in your service delivery, Amino has integrated HTML5 into its Aminet IPTV/OTT set-top box range alongside both HLS and HTTP upgrade and recovery.
Together, these key components will help you deliver new kinds of service packages – including “walled garden” Internet-delivered content that will excite your customers and drive revenues and retention.
Fully aligned and integrated with leading middleware roadmaps including Minerva 5.1 – and forthcoming innovations from other leading players – the Aminet IPTV/OTT set-top box range is available now.

HTTP upgrade and recovery – cutting costs, improving quality of service
Keeping truck roll costs to a minimum is every IPTV providers’ goal – especially if quality of service can be maintained and even enhanced. Now with this new firmware feature of the Aminet IPTV/OTT set-top box range, you can upgrade and recover devices via http as well as provide IPTV services across your network.
This means that issues that may arise can be dealt with remotely quickly and efficiently, without costly engineer call outs. Together with new HLS and HTML5 features, the new Aminet range offers an exciting combination of quality service delivery, innovation and real efficiencies.
