Nuvola NP-1 is the only 4K Ultra HD Media
Player to Pass Google CTS Certification Testing
NanoTech Entertainment (OTCPINK: NTEK), a pioneer in bringing
the 4K Ultra HD experience to consumers, announced today that its
award-winning Nuvola NP-1™ 4K Ultra HD streaming media player for
consumers has passed the Google CTS (Compatibility Test Suite)
certification tests paving the way for shipments of the NP-1 on the
latest Google OS.
NanoTech’s Nuvola NP-1 is the first 4K Ultra HD streaming media
player to pass the stringent tests in the Android compatibility
test suite. CTS Certification allows user’s access to Google's
library apps available in the Google Play Store and ensures the
integrity of the device.
NanoTech partners that bundle the Nuvola NP-1 with their TVs and
other devices will also benefit by providing their customers with
access to a broad range of rich, immersive entertainment
experiences while ensuring their secure delivery.
“We’re very pleased and proud that the Nuvola NP-1 has passed
the Google CTS certification testing,” said Aaron Taylor,
NanoTech’s Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “This
is a major milestone for the product because our customers need to
be confident that their source is authorized for downloading and
using all the cool apps, video, games, etc. in the Google Play
Store. We sacrificed earlier shipping dates so we could include
several new features in our device, all built upon the Android 4.4
(KitKat) OS. Consumer satisfaction is our top priority.”
“Android 4.4 takes system performance to an all-time high by
optimizing memory,” Taylor noted. “Combined with the
proprietary performance enhancements NanoTech has added, the Nuvola
is the fastest Tegra device in the market.”
The new OS also enabled NanoTech to make the Nuvola more
convenient. With the new Android 4.4 OS, the Nuvola is the only
device of its kind that has all the proper video modes available
for the US, Asia and Europe (720p, 1080p and 2160p at 24Hz, 25Hz,
and 30Hz, etc.). Version 4.4 also provides improved memory
management, a reduced memory footprint and enhanced security. In
addition, applications that embed web content can now use Chrome to
render web components accurately and quickly. And with built-in
support for cloud storage solutions such as Google Drive, Nuvola
users can open files directly from the cloud, without having to
first download them.
The Nuvola NP-1 is a multifunction device that can be used to
decode a variety of video formats and resolutions including 4K
Ultra HD, HD, SD and 3D movies as well as for playback of
state-of-the-art 3D Video games. Now upgraded to the Android 4.4
(KitKat) Operating System, the Nuvola can operate hundreds of
thousands of existing apps. With support for the Tegrazone and the
Ouya game library, users can enjoy a gaming experience optimized
for large-screen TVs. The Nuvola can also stream content from a
variety of sources, including the bundled UltraFlix™ UHD channel
with the world’s largest library of streaming 4K VOD content; and
other applications that come pre-installed such as Netflix, Hulu
Plus and YouTube.
Pricing &
Availability
Nuvola NP-1, the world’s first consumer streaming media
player that supports 4K Ultra HD content, is currently in

by 4 inches, the multifunction set top box comes with an
ergonomically designed second-generation Bluetooth remote as well
