Roku's newest compact consumer device provides seamless, direct
streaming of video content from Netflix to consumers' TVs. It easily
connects any TV or home entertainment system to the Internet (via
Ethernet or Wi-Fi), instantly delivering over 12,000 movies and TV
episodes offered by Netflix. To improve the user
experience, the player detects Internet bandwidth and makes on-the-fly
adjustments to provide the highest quality picture and audio possible.
For homes with wireless Internet, the player is Wi-Fi ready, offering
the ultimate in placement flexibility. Roku utilized Qt for Embedded Linux for the creation of the device and was able to reduce time- to- market and furthermore benefited from its robust user interface.
