Antix TV Game Service Supported on Broadcom Set-Top Box Solutions
– A new generation of TV gaming services demonstrated at IBC 2011 –
IBC - AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, September 8th 2011.
Antix announced today that Broadcom Corporation (Nasdaq: BRCM), a global innovation leader in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, will showcase the Antix TV Game Player (AGP) Service on its BCM7346 satellite set-top box (STB) SoC STB platform design at IBC 2011.
Antix and Broadcom have teamed to deliver an impressive multi-screen gaming TV experience with premium, console-quality 3D graphics, supported on Broadcom’s latest STB solutions. Antix leveraged Broadcom’s comprehensive platform APIs including OpenGL ES 2.0 support to quickly deploy Antix’s AGP service on Broadcom’s latest high performance STB chipsets. Antix’s unique distribution technology enables games to be shared from Broadcom-based STBs to mobile devices and PCs for an on-the-go gaming experience.
Francis Charig, Antix’ Chief Executive said, “Consumers have increasingly high expectations of games and our work with Broadcom clearly demonstrates the quality of service now available.”
The Antix Game Player attracts developers who can exploit its end-to-end C and C++ game platform incorporating the distribution and rights management capabilities necessary to bring high-quality gaming to millions of TVs, phones, tablets and other digital devices.
Visitors at IBC in Amsterdam from September 9-13 can see the Antix Game Player in action on a Broadcom platform in Hall 2, Meeting Room G105 (Invitation only).

About Antix Labs, Ltd. (Antix):
Antix has developed the Antix Game Player incorporating a consumer-focused distribution file format and service that makes games even more viral than music and video whilst still protecting the rights and the revenues of the developers. It enables consumers to copy, share, challenge and play with others not only via a service provider’s network but also off-network by means of wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct. Antix connects consumers across feature phones and smartphones, tablets, TVs, set top boxes, PCs and other devices even when a provider’s network is inaccessible, intermittent, slow or full as is the reality in home and on mobile across most of the world. The company offers the Game Player, corresponding tools, certification mechanism, optional white-label store and an optional game warehouse necessary to deploy a complete service offering. The Antix Game Service is being used as a core gaming component by major operators, broadcasters, device manufacturers and retailers across the globe. Headquartered in the Reading Enterprise Centre in Reading, England and with offices in America and Asia, Antix was founded by Francis Charig, its current Chief Executive and a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer.
