Owing to the new Amlogic S905X2 chipset complete with a high-performance ARM Cortex-A53 CPU, MAG520 packs 25% more power than the previous generation of our Linux set-top boxes: content playback is smooth and the UI is fast.
We can customize the interface and software, and apply your branding to the set-top box body, remote control, and packaging. Companies can get UI with their logo and brand colors or even create a unique one.
The device easily handles 4K HDR 60fps content.3 It also supports HEVC and other modern codecs to enable operators to deliver high-resolution content even over low-bandwidth networks.
Infomir has created an API to facilitate integration with CAS/DRM and app development. The apps for the Linux-based MAG Linux set-top boxes are developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Infomir provides extensive documentation for developers' convenience.
With MAG520 and MAG520w3 set-top boxes, viewers can enjoy high-quality audio on modern audio systems, home theaters, and TVs. The crystal clear sound provides the level of immersion that makes you feel as if you were actually in the film, TV show, or TV broadcast.4
