MAG540w3 is Linux STBs powered by the quad-core ARM Cortex-A35 CPU with a brand new Amlogic S905Y4 chipset. This hardware makes the model much more powerful than the legacy STBs. The devices ensure easy and smooth playback of content in all popular modern video formats, including 4K.

With MAG540w3, operators can offer reliable service to their subscribers. The interface continuity makes the model easy to integrate into projects that previously used MAG set-top boxes.

A set-top box for operators and users worldwide

With MAG540w3, users can watch linear TV, video on demand, and content from IPTV/OTT providers. Also, the set-top box plays content within the local network and from external media. Operators can customize the device to give users a bespoke UI/UX and provide reliable technical support.

High-performance Amlogic S905Y4 chipset

With the new Amlogic S905Y4-B chipset and ARM Cortex-A35 CPU, the device is 25% more powerful than the legacy MAG set-top boxes. The MAG540w3 hardware ensures a fast interface and smooth playback.

It plays 4K HDR video at 60 fps

MAG540w3 supports AV1 and HEVC codecs to make sure the device plays 4K content without overloading the network While the H.264 codec requires 32 Mbit/sec to process such video, HEVC requires only 16 Mbit/sec.

Easy integration via API

Infomir offers an API that makes it easy to integrate content protection systems and develop software. Create applications for Linux-based MAG set-top boxes as you would for web pages in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

This solution enables operators to create client applications for middleware, and system integrators to roll out software for hotels, cruise ships, and rotational camps.

Dolby Digital Plus™ surround sound

The device supports Dolby Digital Plus to provide clear eight-channel surround sound. The set-top box can be connected to seven speakers and a subwoofer. This way, the soundtracks get distributed in space, creating a surround sound effect and offering an immersive experience.

Easy transition from legacy MAG models

MAG540w3 is easy to integrate into an existing project that previously used MAG set-top boxes. It requires minimal adaptation to get the devices up and running.

The set-top box is suitable for hotels and cruise ships

MAG540w3 plays content from external media and NAS servers, allowing them to operate without any Internet connection. This feature is convenient for hotels, cafes, restaurants, cruise ships, and facilities out of network coverage.

Ergonomic remote control

MAG540w3 comes with a state-of-the-art IR remote control with customizable IR systems. If other devices with an infrared receiver (air conditioner or TV set) are located nearby, the remote control can be configured in a way that doesn’t interfere with their operation.

The remote has five programmable buttons. Copy the IR codes from the buttons of other devices onto them and control the devices in the room from one remote control. Remote control training will take no more than one minute.

The remote control is easy to hold thanks to its non-slip ABS plastic casing. The device is designed to withstand 300,000 presses per button.

USB ports for connecting peripherals

MAG540w3 is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports. They allow connecting wired and wireless devices, such as keyboards, mice, memory cards, etc. Peripherals make it easier to type and use the browser.

Reliable and smooth playback

The MAG540w3 interface is fast thanks to its high-performance components. The device plays content smoothly and without delays, so users can enjoy it without worrying about rebooting or tweaking.
