To date, UEI has shipped over 75 million RDK remote controls used by leading operators around the world, making UEI a market leader in RDK control solutions.
2017 verlieh die National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences UEI einen Technology & Engineering Emmy® for its contribution to the “Contextual Voice Navigation for Discovering and Interacting with TV Content”, thus recognizing UEI for its pioneering role in the development of the RDK platform.
With the introduction of two new remote control designs, UEI is expanding its footprint to make it easier for operators within the RDK community to expand their offerings with features that consumers have come to expect from pay-TV services, such as voice control and universal TV control regardless of the brand.
UEI works closely with the RDK community to bring voice control and universal operation to the RDK Accelerator Program to integrate – an initiative started by the RDK community to make it easier for operators to adopt the RDK platform and launch products. UEI’s new RDK remote controls serve the same purpose: since the remote controls are already integrated, operators can choose one of the options and be sure that it will work with any “RDK Accelerator” set-top box that it does freed from tedious integration work and accelerated time-to-market.
Steve Gutman, SVP of Global Sales for Video Service Providers at UEI, said: “We look forward to helping customers worldwide on the RDK platform to integrate advanced convenience features such as voice control and automated setup of their TV and audio devices, including soundbars and AV receivers.”
The two new RDK platform remotes that UEI will be showcasing at RDK Summit are called “UEI Tatlow“ and “UEI Logan“. “UEI Tatlow” is a powerful remote control with voice control, a premium keyboard and optional backlight, which makes it easier to use in the dark. “UEI Logan” is a high-quality remote control with voice control and a unique look and feel, including an easy-to-clean unibody keyboard.
Both remotes are designed to control live, recorded and on-demand broadcasts, as well as streaming video, and come with the option of QuickSet, the world’s only automated setup and control solution for home entertainment and smart home devices.
