SmartLabs turnes PiP on AmiNET110 on!



Press release
=========
Using innovative SmartTUBE UI client applications, IPTV service providers can deliver popular and comfortable PiP service to AmiNET110 installed base

Moscow,Russia, August 10, 2009 - SmartLabs LLC announced today the availability of the popular Picture-in-Picture (PiP) feature for service providers who use the company’s SmartTUBE UI client applications to deliver IPTV services to subscribers with AmiNET110 IP STBs from Amino Communications.

PiP has been a popular feature on digital TV screens for several years but until now has not been widely available for IPTV subscribers. Demand of the feature - which allows viewers to watch another channel at the same time as viewing their selected channel – is increasing, according to SmartLabs LLC. Viewers often use PiP when waiting for a movie or sports event to begin, or to watch two shows or sports events transmitted simultaneously.

Many new generation STBs have built-in capability to decode two separate transport streams, which means that supporting PiP can be simply enabled at the software level. STBs like AmiNET110 only has a single chip so SmartTUBE UI client applications use a specific software component to decode the second stream using general CPU power.

This innovative approach to client applications means that adding PiP feature to such IP STBs is now straightforward, making user interface with PiP navigation fast and easy for IPTV subscribers. With this technological breakthrough, almost all STBs using SmartTUBE UI client application can enable the PiP feature.

"We are always committed to deliver new interactive services to our existing and new customers," said Mikhail Grachev, CEO of SmartLabs LLC. " PiP is a popular and useful feature for all subscribers, and increases the overall quality of interactive TV experience and differentiates IPTV service providers from competitors."

Amino Communications Chief Technical Officer Dominique Le Foll said: “The AmiNET 110 is one of the world’s most widely deployed IPTV STBs and it’s great to see SmartLabs innovating in this way to improve product functionality and the end user experience. As an independent company we place a great deal of emphasis on developing and working with a broad and deep eco-system – and this kind of development is testimony to the added value this brings to what we collectively deliver to our customers.”

SmartTUBE UI client applications are based on available IPTV industry standards and universal cross-platform graphical engine, QT for Embedded Linux from Nokia, which supports a wide range of client devices, i.e. STBs, mobile multimedia devices, digital players, communicators, mobile phones, PCs, etc. They have a long list of instruments for building user interfaces from prebuilt components with 2D and 3D functionality, and they also have instruments to create new interface elements which immediately become available for all types of client devices where UI application might be installed.

SmartTUBE UI applications support a wide range of existing chipsets for digital TV STBs. It means that, once created, the UI applications might be easily moved to any new device within one technology (say, IPTV), and it also allows to build hybrid solutions (IPTV, DVB, satellite, etc.) assuming that subscribers will use the same interface experience regardless ways they have to access services.
