Amino demonstrates media gateway powered by Intel's next generation dual core Intel® Atom(tm) processor at CES 2012
New Amino Freedom Live media gateway to offer multi-screen "any content, everywhere" entertainment experience based on powerful new dual core-based platform
(CES, Las Vegas, 9 January 2012) Amino Communications, the world leading IPTV/OTT solutions provider, will unveil the world's first hybrid/OTT media gateway to be powered by Intel's next generation 32nm Intel(R) Atom(TM) SoC for CE at CES 2012 in Las Vegas this week.
The Amino Freedom Live media gateway will combine dual core processing power with a range of new enhanced transcoding and encoding capabilities with multi-screen distribution to deliver content seamlessly to TVs, smartphones and tablets around the home.
Visitors to the Intel booth at CES (#7253) will be able to watch the Amino Freedom handle a range of content sources - including broadcast, OTT, gaming and user generated content - delivered quickly and seamlessly via a newly-created user interface. Uniquely, Amino will also showcase a new feature that delivers high-definition video calling via the TV set.
The Amino Freedom includes new video encoding and Transcoding capabilities which takes raw video and converts it into a high quality format for multiscreen playback around the home.
Other features include a USB3 high speed data port will allow users to plug in low cost HD webcams to enjoy high definition video calling - a unique feature for both home and enterprise use. A dual Ethernet switch will enable other devices - including existing pay-TV set-top boxes - to connect to the open Internet.
WebGL (Web-based graphics library) functionality will allow the creation of new 3D immersible experiences including applications, user interface, electronic programme guide and advanced online gaming. This new version of the Amino Freedom will also be more environmentally friendly, taking advantage of the "power island" design within the dual core chipset which mean that certain features can be effectively "switched off" when not in use.
Amino CEO Donald McGarva said: "This is a real home media powerhouse - fast, slick and with new levels of power and functionality to deliver new kinds of multi-screen entertainment. From dual core capabilities through the latest high speed data, transcoding and encoding functionality - to HD video calling - the Amino Freedom Live sets new standards in the media gateway market.
"From our experience of working with operators on OTT deployments we have learnt a great deal in terms of operator and customer preferences. This new generation of Amino Freedom devices combines all this feedback into a powerful hub for all a home's entertainment needs."
Intel's Vice President and General Manager, Service Provider Division Alan Crouch added: "Amino continues to innovate with its hybrid/OTT offering - now driving new multi-screen experiences in the home that are very closely attuned to today's rapidly changing consumer market. We are delighted that our next generation Intel Atom dual core processor underpins this experience."
The Amino Freedom media gateway is the latest addition the award-winning Freedom range.
Already, available in two product formats - the Freedom Live media centre and Freedom Jump - the Freedom range has been specially designed to help meet growing consumer demand for TV-based "Over-The-Top" (OTT) video entertainment. The Amino Freedom Live hybrid/OTT media centre seamlessly connects users to their favourite TV, movies and home media and a new world of applications and gaming.
The Amino Freedom Jump OTT media centre is a "companion" device that enables pay-TV operators to deliver OTT content, but without the cost of changing out of existing set-top boxes. Movie-on-demand services, catch-up TV, Internet music services, applications and social networking can all be added - and then blended seamlessly into an existing cable operator user interface.
The Freedom platform has been deployed by Telecom Italia to support its Cubovision service, which delivers broadcast TV and OTT content to homes across Italy.

RNS Number : 3979T Amino Technologies PLC 06 December 2011 Tuesday, 6th December 2011
Amino Technologies plc
("Amino" or the "Company")
Period-end Trading update
Amino Technologies plc ("Amino" or the "Company"; stock code: AMO), the Cambridge-based leader in digital entertainment solutions for IPTV, OTT and in-home multimedia distribution, provides the following update on trading for the year ended 30 November 2011.
The Company expects to deliver a profit for the year that is marginally ahead of market expectations (FY2010: loss of £0.9m). This is the result of the operational improvements highlighted at the time of the interim results and continued traction in the emerging OTT market. Revenues for the full year are expected to be well ahead of the previous year (FY 2010: £44.0m) albeit below market expectations, principally due to difficult trading conditions in the Eastern European and Russian IPTV markets.
Amino has successfully managed the supply chain issues which have affected the industry in the second half of the year. This sharp focus on operational management has driven continued margin improvement and proved critical in ensuring delivery of product to customers.
Orders received in FY 2011 totalled 546k units (FY 2010: 660k). The year-on-year reduction of orders received is the result of strong pricing pressure in Eastern Europe and structural changes in the Russian market. Importantly, however, the Company has seen a much improved performance in North America, where its new range of enhanced IPTV/OTT products has been well received.
Sales volumes of OTT products have also been encouraging, with further orders received from Telecom Italia during the second half of the year. The Company also continues to progress a number of trials in North America for its Amino Freedom OTT products. A new Western European contract to supply Vodafone Netherlands with IPTV/OTT set-top boxes has also been secured. At the year end, Amino has total scheduled orders of 102k units to be delivered in FY 2012.
The Company's cash position during the period strengthened to £14.1m (FY 2010: £3.6m) as a result of improved working capital management and profitability, and despite the share buyback in August 2011 totalling £1.2m.
In line with the broader electronics industry, the Company anticipates challenging conditions for the supply of Hard Disc Drives (HDDs) into the first half of 2012 following the recent flooding in Thailand. HDDs are a key component for the Company's PVR device range which accounts for approximately a third of forecasted FY 2012 sales. As noted above, the Company's strong supply chain relationships and controls enabled it to secure additional HDDs to fulfil FY 2011 orders. With rising prices and availability issues, the outlook remains uncertain for the market as a whole. Whilst this could potentially affect Amino's sales mix and cause some short term margin disruption the Company believes that, at this time, it can continue to meet the Board's expectations for the year ahead.
The Company will announce results for the twelve months ended 30 November 2011 on 13 February 2012.
Commenting on the performance, Keith Todd CBE, Non-Executive Chairman said: "Amino's return to profitability is encouraging and is the result of strong operational execution, careful and effective manufacturing logistics, and continued product innovation. However, we are not immune from the volatility of the global markets - nor the impact of natural disasters on component supply - and remain focused on mitigating these issues through robust supply chain management and delivering new feature-rich, cost-competitive products."

Singer Capital has initiated coverage of Amino Technologies (AMO) with a "buy" recommendation and a target price of 78p. The hardware and software developer has spent the last two years developing new products and the broker believes it is now at an inflection point. Singer reports that the company's revenues grew by 36.2% to 24.7 million pounds following the delivery of a new internet video service, and notes that its newest technologies are initially being sold at a discount while old products are phased out and replaced. The shares remained unchanged at 44p.

Italians boost Amino Technologies
Created: 26 July 2011 Written by: Nigel Bolitho http://www.investorschronicle.co.uk/Tips/Buy/MiniTips/article/20110726/829c959a-b767-11e0-bc7c-00144f2af8e8/Italians-boost-Amino-Technologies.jsp Cambridge-based Amino Technologies is now considered to be one of the top designers of set-top boxes that stream television, music and videos via the internet. And there's no doubt that telecom companies of all sizes are taking notice and one, Telecom Italia, has jumped in deep. In the six months to end-May 2011, Italian sales jumped from nothing to £6.75m while in North America revenues almost doubled to £6m as over 200 telecom companies deployed or trialled set-top boxes. There were sharp falls in sales in the UK and to Serbia but a combination of newer products and better cost controls boosted results. In fact, Amino would have broken even but for exceptional losses of £400,000 (last year they were £1m). Not surprisingly, the bumper first Telecom Italia purchase (now followed by two smaller orders) had a beneficial effect on cash flow and stemmed net cash outflow even though overheads and spending on research and development rose further. At the end of May the order book totalled 153,000 units worth £9.5m. That's well down on 12 months ago when the order total was 250,000, but 50,000 of those were earmarked for the Telecom Italia's first order and 43,000 were cancelled. Amino's revenues are split roughly 40:60 between first and second halves. So, broker finnCap is hopeful that 12-month revenues will rise from £44m to £57.6m with adjusted profits excluding exceptionals only modestly down £300,000 to £1.6m. AMINO TECHNOLOGIES (AMO) ORD PRICE: 42.3p MARKET VALUE: £24.5m TOUCH: 41.5-43p 12-MONTH HIGH: 50.5p LOW: 38p DIVIDEND YIELD: nil PE RATIO: 108 NET ASSET VALUE: 37p NET CASH: £11.6m Half-year to 31 May Turnover (£m) Pre-tax profit (£000m) Earnings per share (p) Dividend per share (p) 2010 18.1 -944 -1.7 nil 2011 24.7 -416 -0.7 nil % change +36 - - - Aim: Fixed-line telecommunication services *Includes intangible assets of £6.88m, or 12p a share Guide to the terms used in IC results tables. More analysis of company results IC VIEW Buy On that basis untaxed earnings of 2.8p produces a PE ratio of 15. That's modest for a telecoms business with big potential. We upgrade to speculative buy. |
