This high-end Wi-Fi 6 enabled set-top box opens door for
range of AI uses cases including event detection within
video and image enhancement
PARIS, Sept. 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Vantiva (Euronext
Paris: VANTI), a global technology leader enabling NSPs to connect
consumers worldwide, today introduced the ONYX 4K Ultra HD Android TV set-top box, the latest
AI-enabled platform to be launched by Vantiva. Equipped with an
extremely powerful 40K quad-core
processor and featuring a 4 TOPS NPU, the ONYX STB is one of the
first to incorporate innovative AI capabilities that open the door
to numerous next-generation use cases including identifying and
locating specific events in video (event detection within video)
and image enhancement features such as sharpening (super
resolution) or decreasing grain (advanced denoising). The ONYX will
be demonstrated at IBC 2024 in Hall 1, Level 2, Balcony Suite
1.BS21, Rai, Amsterdam,
Sept. 13 - 16.
"The expansion of AI technology into video delivery is driving
further innovations and is set to completely transform the home
entertainment sector," said Leopold
Diouf, Senior Vice President of the Product Division at
Vantiva. "As the central hub of the home entertainment ecosystem,
intelligent set-top boxes, like ONYX, play a crucial role in this
AI revolution, enabling the integration of new added value
services, such as predictive maintenance and enhanced security for
NSPs and more personalized content for consumers. Furthermore, as
ONYX supports HDR10, HDR10+ and Dolby® Vision formats, end-users
will be able to enjoy a more immersive video experience."
With the latest, most efficient and highest-performing dual-band
Wi-Fi 6 technology, the ONYX allows for video streaming over Wi-Fi
with support for IPTV and Over-the-Top (OTT) services such as
Netflix, Hulu and Disney Plus. This allows more flexibility and
mobility in the placement of the STB. The ONYX is running on
Android TV 14 software and is ready for RDK as the bootloader can
support both standards. The device is equipped with a quad-core
processor, a powerful NPU, Bluetooth 5.2 LE technology and supports
the latest Video Codecs H.266/VVC. This makes it a future-proof
platform for enhanced services and data analytics features.
The ONYX will have the option for Far Field Voice (FFV) control
with up to four microphones. This enables the end-user to have a
true 'lie-back' experience where they will only need their voice to
search or control the volume without having to find and press a
button on the remote control. FFV will effectively incorporate
smart assistant features into the STB and complement AI
functionality as Large Language Models continue to evolve. Vantiva
has designed this platform with flexibility in mind so it can
be configured to suit the requirements of operators.
The ONYX casing is designed with recycled plastics and uses a
USB-C power connector to maximize the re-use of power supply units.
Additionally, the Bluetooth 5.2 LE technology enhances audio
quality and manages power consumption more effectively, resulting
in longer battery life for Bluetooth devices.
