Easy integration via API
Infomir offers an API that makes it easy to integrate content protection systems and develop software. Create applications for Linux-based MAG set-top boxes as you would for web pages in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
This solution enables operators to create client applications for middleware, and system integrators to roll out software for hotels, cruise ships, and rotational camps.
Dolby Digital Plus™ surround sound
The device supports Dolby Digital Plus to provide clear eight-channel surround sound. The set-top box can be connected to seven speakers and a subwoofer. This way, the soundtracks get distributed in space, creating a surround sound effect and offering an immersive experience5.
Easy transition from legacy MAG models
MAG540/540w3 is easy to integrate into an existing project that previously used MAG set-top boxes. It requires minimal adaptation to get the devices up and running.
Customization and branding
Operators who want to personalize their set-top boxes enjoy customization services. Upon request, Infomir can customize the software and place operator branding on the packaging, set-top boxes, and remote controls.
The set-top box is suitable for hotels and cruise ships
MAG540/540w3 plays content from external media and NAS servers, allowing them to operate without any Internet connection. This feature is convenient for hotels, cafes, restaurants, cruise ships, and facilities out of network coverage.
Ergonomic remote control
MAG540/540w3 comes with a state-of-the-art IR remote control with customizable IR systems. If other devices with an infrared receiver (air conditioner or TV set) are located nearby, the remote control can be configured in a way that doesn’t interfere with their operation.
The remote has five programmable buttons. Copy the IR codes from the buttons of other devices onto them and control the devices in the room from one remote control. Remote control training will take no more than one minute.
The remote control is easy to hold thanks to its non-slip ABS plastic casing. The device is designed to withstand 300,000 presses per button.
USB ports for connecting peripherals
MAG540/540w3 is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports. They allow connecting wired and wireless devices, such as keyboards, mice, memory cards, etc. Peripherals make it easier to type and use the browser.
