Yanzhi technology and Opera jointly released the support for HbbTV set-top box design platform

Yangzhi Technology announced in April 18 that its latest design platform supporting hybrid broadband network TV (HbbTV) is ready for mass production. Yangzhi technology will work with Opera to create a more optimized user experience for the HbbTV set-top box platform.

In order to create a perfect interactive experience for HbbTV, Yangzhi technology and Opera have designed a more friendly web browsing interface for traditional TV remote controls or related devices, TV Rendering (TVR), a TV graphics engine unique to Opera, provides an optimized webpage Rendering and Automatic Webpage adaptation technology for TV screens to prevent video flashing) and parent screen view. Yangzhi integrates Opera Browser with the latest set-top box chip, and optimizes the Opera Software Development Kit (SDK) for application developers, reducing product time-to-market and Development costs. As more and more viewers want to watch network content on TV, the consumer electronics market is booming to develop hybrid connected television devices. This development boom includes digital set-top boxes, Blu-Ray DVD players, network TVs, and other new applications that can watch broadcast and television programs while enjoying network information and services. However, due to factors such as insufficient network bandwidth to play high-quality videos and high network construction costs, hybrid connected television devices cannot be popularized all over the world. In addition, the lack of global general standards is also one of the factors hindering the popularization of hybrid connected television devices. When each product tends to use different browsers and supports different audio and video stream formats and protocols, downstream system vendors are forced to Process audio and video content to make them compatible with each other, this indirectly hinders the development of the multi-service market. From the consumer's point of view, switching the TV program to the operation mode of network audio and video on the remote control is different from the Operation habit of Searching Network content with the mouse or keyboard in the past, this is why hybrid connected television devices cannot be popularized. Therefore, unifying global standards and designing open platforms that are easier to develop user interaction functions seem to have become an important factor in determining whether hybrid connected television devices can be popularized, hybrid Broadband Network Television Alliance (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV, HbbTV) also emerged. HbbTV originated in Europe and is supported by many product developers. By standardizing the main components and terminal usage modes, HbbTV's Open Platform enables intelligent and fast connection between many product functions, consumers can easily switch between TV programs and network audio and video, and also watch TV programs and network information. Tony Chang, general manager of Yangzhi Technology International Division, pointed out: "The STB SoC of Yangzhi technology is internationally renowned for its high cost performance. We are ready to do so, he is willing to extend his past experience in STB to the new era of hybrid network TV devices. The HbbTV platform of Yangzhi technology provides all mainstream audio and video stream formats and supports the Opera Web Browser, which is the most widely used in the global consumer electronics market. It is expected to provide a friendly development environment for interactive value-added services. By taking the lead in proposing a STB platform that supports HbbTV, Yangzhi technology once again proved its leading position in the world's ever-changing TV industry ." Opera's Global CEO, Bao lison Lars Boilesen, said: "0.25 billion of users around the world have chosen and trust operabrowser. Over the years, Opera has continuously improved its browser technology on the HbbTV platform to meet the latest industrial specifications. In cooperation with Yangzhi technology, television broadcasting and the Internet will be perfectly integrated. We are honored to provide better HbbTV devices for global consumers ."
