Platform capabilities

Everything a Pay-TV-grade smart TV needs.

RedSquid plus Ocean Blue Software's DTVKit middleware delivers a complete operator-ready TV platform on day one — not a roadmap.

Every broadcast standard, worldwide

DVB-T2 (Freeview), DVB-S2 (Freesat), DVB-C, DVB-I and ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) — complete DVB and ATSC stack via DTVKit. Ship one TV that works terrestrial, satellite, cable or IP-delivered linear, anywhere in the world. HbbTV 2.0.4, OpApp (Freely), and CI+ 1.4 / 2.0 out of the box.

RDK · Android · Linux

Reference integrations across all three. Our engineering partner Ocean Blue Software manages platform bring-up, release management, and long-term support.

DRM and secure paths

HDCP 2.2 / 2.3, Widevine, PlayReady, ECP for UHD/4K. Secure boot, TEE integration, and device certificates built in.

Silicon compatibility

Proven across MediaTek, Amlogic, Novatek, Realtek, and Broadcom. Emulator-first development accelerates bring-up ahead of hardware availability.

Operator-ready theming

CSS variable system applies operator branding uniformly across all RedSquid UI. Ship one hardware SKU, support many operator skins.

First-time install flows

FTI wizard owned by RedSquid, not the operator app. Network setup, language, parental, input configuration, tuner scan, operator provisioning.

Integration timeline

From spec to commercial launch.

Typical phasing for a new SoC integration. Phases compress significantly for teams already on RDK or Android TV.

Week 0–2

Emulator bring-up

RedSquid running on a QEMU / Android emulator, first UI validations.

Week 2–8

SoC integration

Target silicon port, Tuner HAL, audio/video pipeline, CI+ / HbbTV conformance.

Week 8–16

Operator onboarding

Operator branding, FTI configuration, Thunder plugin integration, cloud.

Week 16+

Certification & ship

DVB / ATSC / HbbTV / Freely test runs via our Axia harness; commercial launch.

In partnership with Sharp

Off-the-shelf hardware, operator-ready out of the box.

RedSquid's commercial programme with Sharp Consumer Electronics delivers complete TVs — panels, silicon, logistics, and financing — configured to run operator applications on the RedSquid platform from the moment they're unboxed.

For OEMs building their own hardware, RedSquid ports cleanly to MediaTek, Amlogic, Novatek, Realtek, and Broadcom silicon on RDK, Android TV, or Linux.
