  • What is the DIY OTT Box?
  1.  open source, offer the hardware file including schematic diagram, structure diagram, SMD diagram and so on; offer the software file such as the Android SDK, certainly we can offer technology support
  2. PCBA with GPIO Expansion, easily to expand Vim as OTT+Nas, OTT+I0T, OTT+SBC, it is not only the traditonal OTT box, it is “OTT + “
  3. Support ASTC/DVB-C Developing
  4. Above all, there is no limited on DIY，many ideas can be realized depending on your imagine.

 

VIM

 

  • About the appearance of PCBA
  1.  very small, only 82.0 x 57.5 x 11.5 mm and compact structure is adopted
  2.  USB Type-C Slot as power supply, it seems that VIM is the first OTT box using USB Type-C Slot
  3.  Imported Molex Brand for TF card slot
  4. Dual PD Channel Solutions for Infrared Receiver Module (IRM)
  5.  DDR/EMMC use the original premium brands named SkHynix / Samsung
  • About the SMD of VIM
  1. strictly follow the rules of Electrical Specification, SMD with ESD and Common Mode Choke
  2. strictly follow the rules of HDMI 4K Specifications, adopt the independant LDO power module to supply electricity source.
  3. PCB with 6 layers of PCB. Others usually use 4 layers PCB
  • About the design of VIM
  1. 3 types of Operating system were built, they are Android 6.0, Ubuntu and OpenELEC
  2. add the RTC module, realize the memory of time when power off and IoT expansion
  3. add independantly MCU module, support the starting-up funtion of device through IRM and Hardware Security Function
  4. Support power-on by alarm ( can set the required time to powr-on whenever you need)
  5. VIM is of expansibility, our VIM is for OTT+SBC and OTT+IoT, hardware and software open source and technology support. No limited to secondary developers.
  6. in the near future, we will develop the 3G/4G module, DVT-T2, Intelligent Housing IoT expansion modules, and other accessories.
