|
What do I need to deploy a ViaCLIX System? |
|
Our system consists of 3 products, our back-end Middleware, our client ViaCLIX Browser, a Set-Top Box. |
|
Do I have to use ViaCLIX Set-Top Box or can I use my exisiting or source my own Set-Top Box? |
|
ViaCLIX convergent client platform is designed to run on today's state-of-the-art Set-Top Boxes using cutting edge x86 CPUs with graphics capability that can display up to 1080p video flawlessly. This means using x86 CPUS which are designed for consumer electronics, such as AMD 780 chipset The ViaCLIX STB also includes many of the connectors on the back which are optimized for television and consumer electronics (versus PC type of interfaces). The bottom line is that the ViaCLIX convergent client can run on any STB that has an x86 CPU and enough memory and graphics to play 1080p video flawlessly. We believe that the ViaCLIX STB is a great example and model for an x86 based Set-Top Box. |
|
Can ViaCLIX software run on any PC running Windows(TM)? |
|
ViaCLIX does run on Windows platform and testing has been done on XP, Vista, and Windows 7. However, ViaCLIX is not offering a general PC client at this time. |
|
How does ViaClix integrate with existing Pay-TV networks? |
|
ViaCLIX can easily be integrated into exisitng cable or IPTV networks to add InternetTV offering. Depending on the type of network deployed, we can support CableTV Tuner cards that support CableCard OCUR standard or DVB-C. IPTV is even easier since content is already being delivered over IP via Ethernet to the Set-Top Box. |
|
How is ViaCLIX different than IPTV? |
|
IPTV today is still about reselling premium content to users under a subscription fee, in essense pay-TV offering that compares to Cable & Satellite offerings. Another important distiction is that IPTV offerings are evolving to allow service providers to offer their service to clients over the Internet (vs. managed network). It's important to note that this is still a pay-TV subscription. The key difference between IPTV & ViaCLIX is that ViaCLIX enables Service Operators to add InternetTV content alongside pay-TV and adding new revenue streams by giving customers the abilty to access their favorite content on the Internet using a single Set-Top Box for both traditional pay-TV and InternetTV. |
|
Do I need a special television set or LCD monitor to use ViaCLIX? |
|
No. ViaCLIX is designed to work with almost any television set, regardless of its size, age, or aspect ratio. All your television needs is to accept one of the following connectors: HDMI, component video, S-video, or coaxial cable. If your television is only equipped with a coaxial connector all you need is an inexpensive RF modulator that takes a composite video cable. |
|
Can I get regular TV channels with a ViaCLIX system? |
|
Yes. ViaCLIX systems are compatible with terrestrial cable and satellite systems and can be equipped with a TV tuner get television reception over the air. |
|
Am I able to record movies, television, and other programming? |
|
Yes. The ViaCLIX 4416 and 4418 models are both equipped with a Seagate 80 GB DB35 Series hard drive. Plus each system is has multiple USB ports that give you the flexibility to record movies, television, photos, music, and almost anything to external drives. Also, since the 4416 and 4418 have built in DVD burners, you can create your own DVDs. |
|
Can I watch TV and surf the Internet at the same time? |
Yes. All ViaCLIX content delivery systems (except the V1210) have a picture-in-picture feature, which enables you to multi-task. You can watch one thing in one window and surf the Internet or chat with a friend in another window. You can also check your email or use ooVoo’s video conferencing while you watch your favorite show.
