Antix Game Player

29th September, 2010: Reading/Theale UK – The high performance Antix Game Player from Antix Labs is now available on televisions using single chip TV solutions from MStar Semiconductor, the world’s foremost supplier of solutions for TVs and a leading supplier of ICs across connected mobile and CE devices.

Consumption of games has moved from participation by a narrow sector of the population to the mainstream and with it, there has been a related explosion in the size of the market for games on phones. With the rapid growth in the global connected TV market, there is now an urgent demand to meet consumers’ aspirations for high quality gaming services on TVs as well. MStar has taken the lead by working with Antix to offer a comprehensive end-to-end and high performance games service including content and store supported by MStar’s internet connected TV platforms.

Antix Labs’ native games use a secure file format, similar in concept to MP3 for music or MPEG for video. Consumers use the Antix Game Player to play high performance content and create a truly seamless experience across different devices such as TVs, tablets and phones, and then copied and virally shared with their friends and family, across the cloud or M2M off-network.

“The Antix Game player is a complete product and gives all our TV customers a simple way to meet the demands of an increasingly expectant market by offering the user best-in-class, casual and premium gaming services with downloadable native content,” said Trevor Neal, Vice President of MStar.

“MStar’s success in supplying TV solutions has been remarkable. Antix’s products and its associated publishing community enable MStar to strengthen its comprehensive solutions in TV and also across the many other screens in which MStar is active and taking increasing market share,” said Francis Charig, Antix’s Chief Executive.
