Teatro-3.0, a STB software solution for IP-connected zappers, is based on Linux with a User Interface built in HTML/CSS that uses specific JavaScript APIs allowing access to digital TV features. The solution features DLNA (player and renderer), access to "walled garden" Web and OTT video services (CE-HTML portals, HbbTV applications), as well as Personal Video Recorder and Time Shift Buffer.

AllConnect App discovers and dialogs with the DLNA Digital Media Renderer (DMR) embedded in Teatro-3.0. The app then streams any content chosen by the user e.g., a YouTube video to Teatro-3.0 media player.

"This integration illustrates a simple way to bring Internet video content to the main screen through a companion device," says Hervé Creff, VP Marketing at iWedia. "Thanks to the DLNA DMR supported by our Teatro-3.0 STB software solution, Tuxera AllConnect allows any phone or tablet to stream any content to the STB".

"Our cooperation with iWedia showcases how versatile and user-friendly AllConnect is," says Claudio Camacho, Director of Business Development at Tuxera. "It enables any device to swiftly share Internet video and other online content to a STB powered by iWedia Teatro-3.0 software solution".
