Service providers are constantly looking for new ways to increase revenues through value-added features, however, they are attempting to do this by using yesterday’s SOC, System-on-a-Chip. Set-Top Boxes based on this technology have limited their options as they are using proprietary, embedded CPUs and operating systems that are handicapped when it comes to matching the speed and power of the full Internet. While some media centers allow users to go online, web browsing on a TV set has traditionally been a disappointing experience. Plus, fully integrated television with synchronized web browsing and the ability to target advertising has, until now, been only a dream. ViaCLIX changes everything and is about to transform television and take it to the next level. |
ViaCLIX Set-Top Boxes leverage the PC hardware and software platforms to bring the best of the web onto the TV screen with a simple to use interface. This means all our Set-Top Boxes come with state of the art x86 CPUs with hardware accelerated decoding for smooth video. ViaCLIX also leverages Windows Embedded 7 Operating System as the platform providing a powerful combination of PC architecture with consumer electronic experience. The last point about delivering consumer electronic experience is the pivotal differentiator for ViaCLIX, while many PC based STB type devices exist on the market, many of these devices use standard Full PC Operating Systems making the device very difficult to use in a 10 foot environment. ViaCLIX however provides a simple solution that boots quickly and can be completely controlled with a simple, well designed one of a kind remote control that brings the best of web and PC to the television.
