Custom IPTV Applications for Netgem Set-Top Boxes
The solution includes over 20 IPTV applications specifically developed for Netgem STB devices, using HTML, JavaScript, and advanced canvas components. The applications are designed to operate on the limited hardware capabilities of Netgem STBs and are based on a proprietary SDK, which required the development of custom libraries and numerous optimizations in loading and memory consumption. The system enables a seamless user experience despite the strict technical limitations of the devices.
Over 20 IPTV Applications
A comprehensive set of applications for interactive TV features, tailored to the Netgem STB platform.
Optimized for Low Resource Consumption
Each application is designed with minimal memory usage and fast loading in mind.
Key Features
- 20+ IPTV Applications: More than 20 standalone HTML5 applications developed for various IPTV service functionalities.
- Canvas Rendering: Use of HTML5 canvas for more demanding graphics on low-performance devices.
- Optimized for Low-Memory STBs: Efficient resource usage ensures reliable performance even with limited RAM.
- Custom Libraries: Developed libraries provide better compatibility with the STB SDK and enable faster development.
