Taipei – September 09, 2015 – ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) chipset solution provider, announced today it is collaborating with Adrenio to deploy new high definition set-top boxes in Switzerland. Adrenio is a professional digital TV solution provider and system integrator serving about 200 independent cable operators in Switzerland. The STB deployment will enable Swiss operators to offer cost effective HD STBs to end users. 

The Adrenio set-top box is enabled with Conax Cardless conditional access based on ALi secure system-on-chip solution to provide robust protection for media content and operator revenue. Manufactured by KAON Media, a top R&D and manufacturing company in Korea focusing on developing digital connectivity devices, the modern and compact set-top box delivers design simplicity and cost reduction.

The Adrenio offering features an STB radio function enabling users to continue listening to radio without connecting a TV/screen to the STB. 

"With the ALi SoC certified for Conax Cardless CAS, Adrenio is able to offer a very competitive High Definition STB to its clients," says Thomas Muehlehaler, CEO, Adrenio. "And with the Adrenio “radio” DVB function, we ensure continuous “radio” reception beyond the analogue FM switch-off via the same device, without the need of switching on the TV set."

Taipei – September 01, 2015 – ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) chipset solution provider, today unveiled a family of SoC solutions that integrate High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) for hybrid cable, satellite, terrestrial and IP set-top boxes. ALi’s system-on-chip chipsets provide operators a high-quality and cost-effective solution for migration to HEVC, a cutting-edge, high-efficiency video compression standard for improved delivery of high definition content over existing networks.

ALi’s HEVC-enabled chipsets feature 1080p60 high-quality FHD display, 2000 DMIPs high performance processor capable of supporting a wide range of middleware, 256KB L2 cache enabling optimum browser/hybrid performance, and ALi’s latest advanced security engine supporting most CAS and DRM technologies.

Live demonstrations of ALi’s HEVC-enabled chipsets are available at Suite 2F #BM24, Hall 1, IBC 2015, taking place on September 11-15 in Amsterdam.

Taipei – August 26, 2015 – ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) chipset solution provider, today introduced a pioneering application of its chipset product—DVB set-top box with sound bar. The innovation features ALi’s STB chipset supporting DVB-C/T2/S2 and IPTV video streaming and combines capability of premium-quality streaming music delivery to bring ultimate home entertainment experience.

As TV makers go to the extreme to design TVs as slim as possible, leaving little space for speakers that require volume in order to deliver decent sound, the industry looks to sound bars as a solution to complement today’s high definition displays. However, the sound bar is one more device that has to be connected with the TV, set-top box, and other entertainment equipment. ALi’s innovative solution combines set-top box with sound bar for both video and audio enjoyment without the hassle of additional wires or connection issues.

The integrated solution not only enhances sound quality of audio streaming from the TV broadcast but also functions as a standalone speaker capable of playing music from local USB storage, mobile devices via Bluetooth technology, and popular online services such as Spotify, Qobuz, and Deezer, without having to turn on the TV. In addition, ALi has also enabled remote control of the STB/Sound Bar solution on Android smartphones. 

“ALi’s chipsets are high performing solutions to support a wide range of innovative and diverse applications,” said Dr. Ben Lin, Chairman and CEO of ALi Corporation. “The STB/Sound Bar combo we are introducing is an example of how ALi chipsets can be used to push the frontiers of home entertainment technology and inspire additional cutting-edge applications.”
 

Visitors are welcome to a live demonstration of the STB/Sound Bar solution at ALi’s Suite 2F #BM24, Hall 1, IBC 2015, taking place on September 11-15 in Amsterdam.
 

Note: Spotify, Qobuz, and Deezer are commercial music streaming services that provide digital rights management-restricted content. Subscription charges are applicable for access to the services.
