 The AmiNET110 joins the family of Amino
Digital Set-top Box solutions and provides a
low cost solution that is targeted specifically
for worldwide markets and where a very
flexible product is required.
A USB interface is provided to support such
functionality as games controllers.
With an Ethernet input and flexible audio/
video output, together with S/P-DIF and an
RF Modulator output, the STB provides an
elegant and powerful means of delivering
sophisticated interactive digital television
including multicast and on demand video
along with Internet access.
Various memory options are available,
depending on the complexity of the software
to be supported. For minimum cost, the STB
can boot its environment over the network, or
additional NAND Flash memory can be fitted
to enable it to boot from internal resources.
The embedded Web Browser with Amino's
JMACX HTML and JavaScript extensions
provides the primary user interface and the
support required to control a sophisticated
video-on-demand and IP multicast system,
with full 'trick-play' functionality and picturein-
graphics.
Encased in a small, low-cost housing, the
STB plugs into the back of a TV Set using
the supplied Mini-DIN to Phono Composite,
RGB or S-Video and audio cable, or via the
RF output. Other connections are an S/P-DIF
digital audio output, an RJ45 Ethernet socket
and power input to a small plug-top power
supply.
Low power consumption means cool running
and high reliability.
