STB
Smart Devices and Set-Top Boxes Based on Amlogic Chips and Android OS
The Amlogic Chips We Use to Design Your Devices
S905X (X4/X5/X5M), S805X3
For 4K IPTV/OTT, hybrid STBs, Android TVs, and media players. These chips provide optimised performance for UHD video playback and media streaming platforms.
S928X
For ultra-high-definition applications, next-gen media players and premium IPTV/OTT services with 8K decoding and video streaming capabilities.
S905Y (Y4/Y5)
For 4K mainstream devices, compact Android TV sticks, streaming dongles, and small form factor media players.
A113 L/L2/X/X2/D
For smart audio and IoT devices, such as smart speakers, voice assistants, and other voice-controlled gadgets.
A311D/A311D2
For real-time streaming and camera-based applications, including AI-powered systems and devices with image processing.
T962X3
For smart TVs, interactive flat panel displays (IFPDs), video walls, and large-format digital signage solutions.

Amlogic-based Multimedia Devices
What We Offer
We have developed an STB prototype, and tested and modified its software powered by Amlogic. You can use it as a ready-made hardware and software solution for your STB product line.
Discover the additional tasks our dedicated engineering team can assist you with:
1. Custom hardware design and fast prototyping on development kits
2. Development of application-level software, business logic, and UI/UX design:
- Custom Android launchers and services to access system/hardware resources
- Native and cross-platform Android apps
- Web- and Qt-based apps
- Third-party software integration (e.g. CAS/DRM libraries, DVB stack)
- Player implementation: HLS, MPEG-DASH, Multicast
3. Development and porting of the Embedded Linux (Buildroot) and Android (AOSP) internals:
- SDK size and build time optimisation
- Secure boot and boot time optimisation
- Custom software update and recovery services
- Storage subsystem
- Drivers for peripheral devices
- Energy-saving algorithms and power control
- Remote control integrations
- OPS device support
