Digital Living Platform
Digital Living Platform provides key software components that are necessary to make networked Consumer Electronic (nCE) devices simple, affordable and easy to use in a networked home entertainment environment. The DLP software components we built are compact in size, highly portable with various hardware/OS platforms, and yet offer optimized superior performance, while strictly compliant to industry standards. There are two core technical differentiators: UPnP and ExtHome technologies in a typical embedded nCE system.

 

Digital Living Lab
Digital Living Lab provides lab facilities and equipments to facilitate interoperability testing with UPnP nCEs within a simulated environment. It also provides technical support and certification assistance to local and PRD manufacturers.

ASTRI's Consumer Electronics Program is dedicated to elevating the technology level of local ODM and OEMs, in order to manufacture next-generation networked multimedia communication and entertainment devices, and help them move up the value chain to capture emerging market opportunities.
