IPTV platform supplier, Amino, said its AmiNET130 set-top box is the first High Definition MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 IPTV STB to meet the Premium Conformance Tier of the MPEGIF Logo Qualification Program offered by the MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF).

MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 is a part of the MPEG-4 standard and enables the AmiNET130 to deliver video compression offering high quality at low-bit rates. This effective compression technology offers excellent results across a broad range of bandwidths including the transport of High Definition streams for entertainment services and TV broadcasting.

The AmiNET130 uses these innovations in video compression technology to provide HD quality using compressed video data. This means users with low bandwidth speed available at their homes can still benefit from a HD video experience. MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 gives as high quality as MPEG-2 but with up to a half the data rate by using the best compression technology available.

The AmiNET130 is a set-top box enabling service providers to deliver end-to-end digital High Definition TV as multicast, on-demand video and multi-room IPTV services. The AmiNET130 is the world’s first IP STB capable of displaying HD graphics for HD gaming.
