Industry leading TI Digital Media Processor to be incorporated into set-top box
                                    blueprint
                                        
                                        
Amino Technologies plc ("Amino"; stock code : AMO), the Cambridge based
broadband network software and systems company, announces that IntAct, Amino's
software business unit, will collaborate with Texas Instruments Inc. ("TI") to
produce a full reference design based on the award-winning AmiNET124 IPTV
set-top box ("STB").


The design will incorporate TI's TMS320DM642 720 MHz DSP (digital signal
processor) based digital media processor - one of the fastest processors
currently available - and will offer original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") a
reliable and proven technical blueprint. The move to create a reference design
from this successful STB potentially opens the IPTV market to new OEM entrants,
supporting the IPTV industry's growth and increasing the availability of
consumer premises equipment from different vendors.


The reference design, with TI's processor, represents the collaboration of two
of the primary experts in their industry sectors. IntAct has more than one
hundred commercial deployments and is one of the most mature software solutions
available for IPTV. TI's leadership is long-standing and the company has an
exemplary track record of developing the most advanced and reliable
semiconductor products for streaming media applications.


"We believe that together, TI and IntAct have enabled a smart solution to
address the needs of the emergent IPTV market." said Charlie Gonsalves, New
Business Development Manager, TI. "The OEMs ability to obtain a proven and
dependable blueprint may boost this growing market by providing a product that
is cost effective and scalable."


Amino's Chief Executive, Bob Giddy commented: "The collaboration agreement with
TI adds a further world class business to our partnership programme and
emphasises Amino's position at the heart of the IPTV industry. Although this
agreement will not produce immediate revenue, the availability of an 'Amino
ready' TI digital media processor will strengthen our future position."


IntAct facilitates outsourcing the costly software development function,
bringing a reduction in complexity, management and hence operating expenditure;
a reduction in time to market; and a reduction in risk through use of an already
deployed and scalable product. With IntAct, operators can deliver more video
streams to more homes and maximize the return on their IPTV investment.


TI's digital media processor supports MPEG-4, MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 formats. The
device also processes standard definition (SD) video decoding for the emerging
H.264 format. The STB on which the design is based has a similarly impressive
story. Amino Communication's AmiNET124 has been the recipient of a number of
industry awards since its launch in June 2005. These include the Broadcast
Engineering Pick Hit Award for the best IP set-top box at IBC'05 for its
innovative design and advanced performance - features which have already led to
both customer interest and actual deployments, and the NAB 2006 Award for
Innovation in Media.
