First drivers for OpenTV 5
10.33 Europe/London, December 7, 2011 By Julian Clover


Semiconductor supplier STMicroelectronics has released the first drivers for OpenTV 5, the latest version of the Kudelski-owned middleware.

The drivers reduce the time required by OEMs deploying the middleware on any class of set-top box featuring ST’s current STi7105 andSTi7108 and shortly on Orly, the latest-generation most-powerful broadband system-on-chip IC.

The OpenTV 5 set-top box middleware provides the core functions needed to support services from basic television to on-demand content and over-the-top (OTT) Internet video. Functions include support for standard television services, video/audio controls, PVR (Personal Video Recorder), security, home networking, advanced program guides and IP based services.

OpenTV 5 moves the set-top box towards being the central home appliance for accessing TV, Internet and personal content.

The ST chipset’s features include powerful video processing, 3D graphics for advanced user interfaces and gaming, hard-disk and USB connectivity, and are compatible with standards such as HTML5 and Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) for content sharing supported by OpenTV 5.The ST chipsets validated with drivers for OpenTV 5 are available with embedded Nagra On-Chip Security (NOCS) which ensures the integrity of customer equipment by utilizing a hardware root of trust.
