Set-top Box Processors from STMicroelectronics Support Google Services for TV
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Geneva, September 13, 2013 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, has introduced an upgrade to its Software Development Kit 2 (SDK2)
that allows the development of Android-compliant devices and supports the latest
Google services for TV.
Currently, consumers can access Google services for TV by connecting a "buddy
box" between the existing set-top box (STB) and TV. ST's new SDK2-Android v10.0
release will allow STB manufacturers to offer a simple solution that pre-
integrates support for Google services for TV, combining OTT (over-the-top)
content and traditional premium Pay-TV content, without requiring consumers to
buy additional equipment.
The SDK2-Android v10 enables software development based on Android v4.2 (Jelly
Bean). The development kit is now rolling out across ST's latest set-top box and
home gateway processors, from the flagship STiH416 (Orly) to the recently
introduced 'Cannes' (STiH3xx) and 'Monaco' (STiH407/STiH410/STiH412) families.
The STiH416 fully supports the security requirements of Google services for TV
and has passed the certification of the leading CA (Conditional Access)
providers required to deploy any Pay-TV services in the world.
"ST is uniquely positioned to support Pay-TV service operators looking at
deploying Google services for TV on their network. Our STB and Gateway
processors are the only solutions on the market able to support the latest CA
requirements and Android version," said Yannick Paillard, Strategic Partnerships
Director, Unified Platform Division, STMicroelectronics. "Integration of all the
required hardware security in all our STB processors makes this exciting
scenario possible."
SDK2-Android v10 is available now, and will be available for any ARM®-based
processors for STB and Home Gateway from ST.
ST demonstrates the support of Google services for TV on its set-top box devices
at IBC in Amsterdam, September 13-17, 2013.
