YOU can now view high-definition videos from YouTube and Vimeo with no advertisements thanks to a new set-top box from local IPTV (Internet protocol TV) solutions provider Select-TV Solutions Sdn Bhd.
Called Emagine, it has 200 online channels like entertainment, education, and cartoons which feature content aggregated from YouTube and Vimeo.
If you like a video, you can add it to your custom playlist and once you save it to your Emagine account, you’ll be able to watch it from any other Emagine unit. It also allows users to share and discover channels created by other users.
It can also double up as a media player for viewing HD videos, music and photos stored on external drives and thumdrives, as it supports a variety of formats.
Plus, users can listen to more than 40,000 online radio stations through Shoutcast.
Emagine requires an Internet connection to work, and supports both wired and wireless networks. Select-TV Solutions recommends a minimum connection speed of 3Mbps (megabits per second) or 5Mbps for HD content.
Emagine is sold exclusively through online retailer Lazada for RM399.
It also includes iOK, a Karaoke premium on-demand service which lets you choose more than 50,000 songs in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Korean and more.
