AMSTERDAM, 19 September 2013 - Dune HD, award-winning manufacturer of full HD media players and connected set-top boxes for consumers and operators, today announced that the Dune HD Connect, the smallest full-featured set-top box on the market, has won the ConnectedWorld.TV Award for Connected Home Device of the Year at IBC2013. The awards recognized the Dune HD Connect as the most compact set-top box that allows operators to deliver IPTV, OTT and digital content services to any TV through a simple HDMI connection.
Dune HD pioneered the StickSTB product format, which is designed to appeal to both operators and consumers, by packing maximum video processing power and connectivity into the most compact form factor. Measuring just 73x34mm, the Dune HD Connect features full HD 1080p, HDMI 1.4, built-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet, future digital broadcast tuner options, a micro SD slot, and USB connectivity-all squeezed into a HDMI stick.
The Dune HD Connect sets new installation and deployment standards for operators by eliminating the need for specialized home installation services. The Dune HD Connect can be shipped direct to consumers via regular mail and installed in minutes through simple HDMI and home Wi-Fi connections. The StickSTB features operator-specific OTT and IPTV streaming services already integrated, so subscribers benefit from immediate access to popular and premium content without needing specialist technical support or installation.
We are thrilled at the amount of industry support and recognition we've seen for the Dune HD Connect, said Konstantin Dyshlevoy, President and CEO of Dune HD. By plugging a full set-top box and media player into the HDMI port on the TV, the Dune HD Connect essentially creates an operator-customised SmartTV without the $2,000 price tag. Dune HD is well known for product innovation and quality, and this latest award and customer interest shows that we're delivering the right product to allow operators to offer more efficient and effective service solutions to their customers.
