Technology Demos 

NEW SceneGate(TM) Flex STB
Albis Elcon will provide several live demonstrations of its next-generation SceneGate(TM) STB at IBC2015, showing attendees how they can use the STB solution in various applications. 

The newest SceneGate Flex STB model is based on a powerful ARM(R) CPU and GPU architecture that supports broadcast, broadband, and OTT services, combined with the latest STB middleware and broadband software solutions. Through the SoC s high-performance ARM Mali(TM) GPU, service providers can deliver ultra-smooth 3D graphics, enhancing the user experience. The SoC features HEVC decoding, enabling service providers to deliver HD-quality content at the lowest possible bitrates. Using the Albis Elcon s SceneGate STB, service providers can offer high-quality content to a greater number of customers using less bandwidth, or more channels using the same amount of bandwidth.

Turnkey Solution
At IBC2015, Albis Elcon will showcase its next-generation SceneGate(TM) STB as a turnkey solution that is pre-integrated with third-party middleware, conditional access, and backend systems, enabling service providers to introduce new revenue-generating offerings with a very short time to market (i.e., approximately 14 days). The turnkey solution offers a pay-as-you-grow approach to scalability, significantly reducing CAPEX for service providers. By providing operators with a reliable, affordable, and low-maintenance carrier-grade STB solution, Albis Elcon makes it easy to deliver a cutting-edge television experience to subscribers in a matter of just weeks. 

During the demo Albis Elcon will also highlight a variety of new features for the SceneGate STB, such as internal WiFi, USB 3.0, and HDMI 1.4, to enable a more connected home entertainment experience for end users.
