Unlike common home appliances, a set-top box requires extremely sophisticated software to run it. In addition to successfully preloading set-tops with Open TV that enables interactive/data services, Humax has developed the proprietary middleware, which allows the operation of supplementary services.

Broadcast operators in different countries use diverse versions of CAS (Conditional Access System), the system that allows the viewing of paid broadcasts, one of the unique features of digital broadcasting. By forging alliances with a variety of CAS providers-Viaccess, Irdeto Access, Canal+, NDS, SECA, Nagravision, CryptoWorks, Conax and Betacrypt-Humax offers the most versatile CAS support in the world.

Our in-house technical capabilities extend to the design of intricate, versatile hardware and semiconductors (ASIC). In the digital home appliance industry, the strategic alliance between core semiconductor provider and system manufacturer can be a key element for both parties in staying at the forefront of cutting-edge technology. By maximizing our strategic partnerships and in-house system design capabilities, Humax intends to maintain our leadership position in the global market.

Having entered the STB market in its infancy, Humax has been able to garner extensive field experience and in-depth expertise. By accommodating market demands and exploiting our own technical know-how, we are able to continue assuring the quality of our products worldwide.
