| MUMBAI: Opera Software which works in the field of web browser
technologies, has announced its extended partnership with the UK based Amino which
provides IPTV software and customer premises equipment provider. Amino now offers
the Opera Browser as an option for shipments of its AmiNET110 set-top boxes, and
will also work with Opera to integrate browser technology into next generation
products. Opera 8.5 SDK was chosen for its faster performance, lower memory
footprint, and support for advanced web-based user interfaces for IPTV. The fast
and full-featured Opera Web browser offers a surfing experience for users of Amino's
IPTV set-top boxes. Opera's compliance with open web standards enables the quick
development of advanced, interoperable, cross-platform web applications and dynamic
user interfaces.
Opera says that the deal allows Amino to enhance its
IPTV offerings to include advanced features that are only possible through a standards-based,
advanced web browser such as Opera. As a part of Opera and Amino's partnership,
Amino can also provide application developers with the Amino Software Development
Kit with the Opera browser option. Opera's browser technology has been ported
on top of Amino's Intact IPTV Software Stack. As a result, Amino delivers a platform
to support full Internet browsing, advanced web-based user interfaces, and applications
combining video and graphics. |
