ALi teams up with Cubiware for hybrid set-tops

Set-top box system-on-chip specialist ALi and Cubiware, a provider of DVB/IP hybrid middleware, have teamed up to provide hybrid set-top solutions for pay TV operators.

ALi’s first SoC series based on this partnership includes the advanced CA-enabled Linux-based set-top SoCs M3603 and M3383, which will be pre-integrated with CubiTV middleware and available to set-top vendors as a reference design.

“ALi’s M3603 and M3383 support the latest security features required to implement digital STB for satellite, terrestrial, cable or IPTVs. The reference design with Cubiware are the first best-of-breed hybrid set-top box solutions which combine all the features that end consumers demand for but have been limited only in the high-end hybrid set-top box market,” said Tony Chang, general manager, international business unit at ALi Corporation.

Jakub Gorski, CEO of Cubiware, said, “We are glad to be the first Middleware company to adopt ALi’s industry leading Linux platform. By closely working together, ALi and Cubiware have developed high-performing and feature-full hybrid solution, which is available to STB vendors for immediate adaptation. With ALi’s solution, we can now effectively address a growing demand for fast, efficient and cost effective solution from our customers worldwide.”
