    The announcement was made to coincide with the opening of TV Connect 2016 which is
held in London (ExCel) from Tuesday, April 26th through to Thursday, April 28th. Both
HiSilicon (stand #25) and iWedia (stand #115) exhibit at the show where the integrated
solution will be demonstrated.

    The Hi3798/Hi3796 series of chipsets includes Hi3798M V100, Hi3796M V100, and Hi3798C
V200. It provides solutions for entry-level through high-end FHD/UHD HEVC STB. It features
an advanced security engine integrating a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a Secure
Video-Path (SVP), and forensic watermarking technologies. All security requirements are
fulfilled to protect the system both in static and running modes. The security engine
protects the power on and boot processes, the OS kernel loading, the middleware launching,
and the app/UI execution.

    Teatro-3.0 is a software solution for hybrid (DVB+IP) STB based on Linux with an easy
to customize User Interface / resident app developed using regular Web technologies (HTML,
CSS, DOM, JavaScript). The solution features DLNA (player and renderer), access to "walled
garden" Web and OTT video services (CE-HTML portals, HbbTV applications), as well as
Personal Video Recorder and Time Shift Buffer.

    Teatro-3.0 is pre-integrated with NAGRA and Conax Conditional Access Systems and is
fully compliant with their software architecture security requirements.

    "With Teatro-3.0 Pay TV broadcast operators can bring their OTT video services on the
main screen along with their legacy broadcast services. All delivered with a customized
and branded UI designed using basic Web technologies," said Sunghoon Kim, VP Sales at
iWedia. "The latest family of SoC for connected FHD/UHD HEVC STB from HiSilicon was a
perfect target for this solution and we are very pleased to have achieved this porting".

    "With the availability of Teatro-3.0 on our Hi3798/Hi3796 series of chipsets and in
leveraging iWedia's integration services capabilities we help our STB OEM customers to
bring a better Time-To-Market to the Pay TV operators they target with connected STB,"
said Liu Zhiyang, General Manager of STB Chipsets at HiSilicon.
