For TV devices a reliable and robust media player is mandatory. With the Inaris Media Player, we designed a flexible player framework that supports multiple types of media sources for a high-quality TV experience for DVB, IPTV as well as OTT streaming. Well-known TV features like EPG, Teletext, subtitles, PVR, but also HbbTV is supported for all transport stream based sources, both for DVB reception via tuner or OTT reception via IP networks. The media player is deployed on TV devices based on Linux, Android TV and also RTOS based systems. For best playback performance it uses the system’s audio/video decoders in the most efficient way.
High-quality content needs protection, therefore, our player supports well-known conditional access (CA), and digital rights management (DRM) systems. Media playback is an end-to-end solution. All involved parts need to work together for a seamless playback experience. The player supports deep analysis of the received streams and playback quality, collecting all this data via cloud-based services. With our long-term experience in the development of software for embedded TV devices, we are furthermore able to create tailor-made player solutions for our customers.
