Amino says its “Freedom Live” media gateway combines dual core processing power with new enhanced transcoding and encoding capabilities with multi-screen distribution to deliver content to TVs, smartphones and tablets around the home.

In addition, a dual Ethernet switch will enable other devices – including existing pay-TV set-top boxes – to connect to the open Internet.?
