NETGEAR Inc. has introduced the NETGEAR NeoMediacast(TM) HDMI Dongle (NTV300D). The NTV300D is a customizable, Miracast(R)-enabled platform that enables telecommunications service providers to use the latest Android(TM) applications to offer their subscribers a veritable "curated content store" of both premium and free Over-the-Top (OTT) content. The NETGEAR NeoMediacast HDMI Dongle is among a number of new products that NETGEAR is demonstrating to press, customers and channel partners this week at the 2014 International CES(R) trade show in Las Vegas.

With NeoMediacast, service providers can develop and operate a complete media streaming solution that supports their multi-screen video initiatives, where quick time-to-market is critical. The small, easy-to-use NTV300D integrates the Android SDK, giving service providers the tools to build their own premium content store. Another major benefit is that service providers can leverage the Android apps they have already developed to support linear TV on tablets and phones.

Combined with NTV300D support for DRM, this offers service providers a low-cost alternative to set-top boxes. By supporting this seamless portability of existing Android applications and the cost-effective development of new applications, the NeoMediacast Dongle enables service providers to instantly turn any TV into a Smart TV. The NETGEAR NeoMediacast HDMI Dongle provides uncompromising functionality and performance.

It offers Miracast(R) -enabled wireless display, so that consumers experience intuitive sharing of content from their mobile screens to big screen TVs. Equipped with full HD 1080p/60 decode, there is no compromise in accessing the best content available, while integrated DRM support ensures access to premium content. The NTV300D also leverages best-in-class, next-generation 802.11ac wireless connectivity for a top quality viewing experience even with HD quality video.

It integrates support for Bluetooth(R) 4.0 so Bluetooth-enabled remote devices connect seamlessly. Service providers' subscribers will love the simple and easy installation afforded by the small form factor.
