Overview
Ocean Blue is pleased to offer manufacturers a Near Turn Key (NTK) solution for the low-cost PayTV Zapper, and PVR markets. Optimised for low-cost platforms, with minimal resource requirements, the NTK provides manufacturers with a ready-to-go solution that can be readily customised to the end market requirements.
The NTK compromises of OBS’ market-proven Sunrise DVB stack, pre-integrated with a UI framework, and standard hooks for the integration of conditional access modules for the Pay-TV market. A reference UI implementation is also available or manufacturers are free to develop their own using a 3rd party, commercially available, drag n drop tool. The NTK is suited to both Linux and RTOS based systems.
System Overview
The NTK is designed to require minimal system resources and is ideal for RTOS, or low footprint Linux based systems. The exact requirements will vary with the OS, numbers of channels/events in the programme guide, and complexity of the UI assets. The table below provides a general indication of the platform resources required for the NTK.
2K DMIPS processor recommended
128MB DDR

Near Turn Key UI Designs
The NTK employs a flexible user interface framework that is designed to generate a compact, small footprint UI for low-end platforms, while still offering the user a compelling experience. OBS provides a reference UI implementation, which the manufacturer is free to customise to their requirements, or OBS can offer any necessary customisation services.
