WALNUT CREEK, CA, June 2, 2011 – SysMaster Corporation, a leading provider of VoIP, IPTV and Wireless solutions for service providers, announces release of its powerful Tornado M70™ High Definition Set Top Box (STB)—based on the industry leading Broadcom 74xx processor. Tornado M70 Hybrid HD STB can interface in parallel to DVB-S2 or DVB-C networks as well as IPTV networks. The STB devices will allow satellite and cable operators to provide additional IPTV services, in conjunction with existing DVB network, specifically targeted at VOD and PPV content. This way the device can receive traditional DVB channels using the DVB interface, and at the same time have access to IPTV VOD/PPV channels, OTT (over-the-top) content, and advanced Web-enabled services such as YouTube, Google Maps, Picasa, etc. Tornado M70 Hybrid HD supports an optional DVB-T USB tuner to allow subscribers to receive FTA DVB-T terrestrial digital television.
The product features H.264/MPEG4, MPEG2, FLV and WMV/VC1 video compression, which allows it to deliver high quality video streams over IP networks with low bandwidth utilization. M70 supports most of the industry leading protocols including RTP, RTSP, IGMP, MMS, HTTP and the increasingly popular HLS and RTMP formats. M70 ships with a JavaScript API and Adobe Flash Lite v.3 API Interface Support, enabling service providers to build custom interfaces using direct HTML template modification or create their fully proprietary JavaScript or Adobe Flash Lite v.3 interface.
"SysMaster’s aims to attack the mainstream service providers who want to offer advanced IP services like VOD and PPV and web based content like YouTube etc.," said SysMaster Director of Business Development. "Tornado M70’s native features allows providers and their customers to watch both paid and OTT content. With a full browser and Java/Flash Lite customization kits of Tornado M70, service providers can control their end user experience in many innovative ways. Tornado M70 can be integrated with any third party middleware, if necessary. This will expand the adoption of Tornado M70 in the market place"
