Better user experience with Android TV

Android TV offers a better user experience. The system features built-in Google services, a modern launcher, voice-controlled remote, personalized recommendations, and Google Play Store with over 7,000 games and apps.

4K HDR at 60 fps playback

MAG500A unlocks the full potential of realistic 4K video by adding 60 fps playback. This means the viewer can be truly immersed in the action, with HDR ensuring natural colors in both bright and dark scenes.2

Google Assistant

The voice assistant controls playback, answers questions, fetches weather forecasts, looks up content across the apps, and finds channels, movies, and TV shows on your users’ favorite subscriptions. It can be used easily with the voice-enabled Bluetooth remote.

Chromecast built-in

MAG500A users can cast video, music, and even games from smartphones, tablets, and PCs to their TV. No need for additional dongles: the devices just need to be connected to the same network. Let your subscribers control their TV with their mobile phone and cast content to the big screen with just one tap.

Dolby Digital Plus™ sound

MAG500A can play TV broadcasts, shows, films, and concerts with Dolby Digital and Dolby Digital Plus multichannel audio. Enjoy crisp surround sound while watching linear programming, video-on-demand (VoD), and locally stored content.3

Connection to any network

With an Ethernet port and an 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi module, MAG500A can use any available internet connection. The wireless transfer speed can reach 540 Mbps.4 No need to disconnect the cable to switch between Ethernet and Wi-Fi: just use the Wi-Fi/Ethernet control in the device’s Settings menu.

7,000+ apps on Google Play Store

MAG500A has access to 7,000+ apps and games on Google Play Store and comes preloaded with a content playback app MAGic Player, an advanced file explorer MAGic Files, an audio player MAGic Audio, and Ministra Player.

DRM systems

HEVC codec (h.265)

MAG500A supports HEVC encoding that enables playback of high-resolution content even over a low-bandwidth connection. While h.264-encoded 4K 60 fps video requires a 32 Mbps connection, h.265 cuts the required bandwidth to 15 Mbps. For HD and Full HD videos, the bandwidth required is halved, also.

Content protection with Widevine L1 and Microsoft PlayReady SL2000

Widevine L1 and Microsoft PlayReady SL2000 DRM systems enable operators to protect their content and have an easier time negotiating with copyright holders.

H.264

Minimum 4K stream bitrate: 32 Mbps 5

H.265

4K bitrate: 15–25 Mbps 5

FAQ

Here, you will find answers to operators’ and users’ frequently asked questions.

hghgjg
fgjfghgf
What is the difference between Android TV and AOSP?
AOSP (Android Open Source Project) is an open-source operating system for smartphones, smartwatches, TVs, set-top boxes, and other devices. Although it lets manufacturers add ad-hoc functionality, this platform has no access to Google services.

In contrast to AOSP, Android TV targets only set-top boxes, media players, and Smart TVs. This OS features Google Assistant, Chromecast built-in, YouTube support, and has access to Google Play Store’s extensive catalog of apps and games.

To release an Android TV device, manufacturers should meet Google’s content protection, firmware, update, and hardware requirements. Operators can thus rest assured that their devices will work as advertised and get updates in time.

What benefits does Android TV carry for operators?

With Android TV, even local operators can offer their subscribers a modern user experience complete with voice search, app store, personalized recommendations, and Chromecast built-in.

We cover Android TV’s features in more detail in our Infomir Academy course, for operators.

How do I integrate MAG500A with my middleware?
The Android TV platform is compatible with most modern middleware. If your solution has a client app for Android TV, all you need to do is install it on MAG500A.

If your solution lacks support for Android TV, you will have to invest in its integration or look for an alternative.

Is user data protected?
All the user account, purchase, and credit card data are protected.

Android TV’s security is guaranteed by one of the largest IT companies in the world. Google thoroughly tests the devices and releases security patches for vendors to integrate them into their update images.

Which apps are pre-installed on MAG500A?
MAG500A comes pre-loaded with Google’s and Infomir’s apps. The former include YouTube, Google Play Store, Live Channels, and Google Play Movies.

Infomir’s apps are as follows: Ministra Player, a Ministra TV platform client; MAGic Files, a file explorer; MAGic Player, a video player; MAGic Browser, a web browser; and MAGic Audio, a music player.

Can MAG500A be integrated with third-party middleware and CAS/DRM?
MAG500A supports only Widevine L1 and Microsoft PlayReady. If you need other CAS/DRM or customizations, Android TV Operator Tier would be your best bet for its much broader customization possibilities.
Where is MAG500A made?
MAG500A is designed and assembled in Odesa (Ukraine), where Infomir’s headquarters are located.
