Entropic, Opera Develop HTML5-Compliant Browser for Advanced Client Set-Top Box Solutions
June 10 2013 - 8:00AM
(The Cable Show 2013 – Booth #2807)
- Entropic (Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in
semiconductor solutions for the connected home, and Opera Software,
(OSE:OPERA) the world leader in cross-platform browsers and mobile
advertising, announced today their collaboration on a joint
solution based on Opera's advanced HTML5 browser running on
Entropic's powerful set-top box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC)
platform, the EN7588. While HTML5 browsers are available on PC,
tablet and other mobile devices, the Opera HTML5 capability on
Entropic's EN7588 presents a breakthrough cost-effective IP-Client
STB solution.
As Pay-TV service providers migrate in-home video delivery to an
all-IP format, HTML5 will increasingly become an optimal format to
carry multimedia content over IP, as the standard is already
supported by a vast number of online content providers. The joint
Entropic/Opera HTML5 STB SoC solution seeks to proactively meet
original equipment manufacturer (OEM) needs while aligning with
service providers' content delivery strategies.
An advanced STB SoC solution, the EN7588 offers a dual-core 5000
DMIPS ARM® Cortex™-A9 processor with NEON™ SIMD extensions for high
performance operation. ARM ecosystem allows Entropic and its
partners to quickly develop and implement an efficient software
solution, meeting OEM's time-to-market (TTM) needs.
"Operators are increasingly looking to HTML5 as a standard for
rich multimedia over IP networks. As a pure-play platform
semiconductor company in connected home entertainment, we partnered
with Opera to offer a compelling, optimized HTML5 solution to our
OEMs and operator customers," said Roger Gregory, vice president,
Marketing, Set-top Box Products, Entropic. "In particular, we see
the U.S. cable market transitioning from closed, proprietary video
delivery mechanisms to open, standards-based solutions. Our
efficient and superior architecture is able to run Opera's HTML5
browser with hardware acceleration to ensure the optimal browser
experience."
"Opera worked closely with Entropic to bring our advanced, high
performance HTML5 browser to the client set-top box platform," said
Aneesh Rajaram, senior vice president for TV & Devices, Opera
Software. "As browser experts having deployed our HTML5 engine on
tens of millions of STBs and TVs, we now have the opportunity to
help operators embrace HTML5 and evolve their STB platforms to a
format that is more IP-centric."
This new Entropic/Opera HTML5 experience is being demonstrated
this week at The Cable Show in Washington D.C., June 10-12, 2013,
at Booth #2807. For more information, please visit:
