The general objective of the project is to support innovation and increase the productivity of SC Headlight Solutions SRL by creating a complex innovative product and innovative services based on this product. The aim is to create an innovative hardware and software platform for processing and disseminating multimedia content and integrating Internet of Things solutions aimed at increasing the economic competitiveness of society. The hardware solution will be composed of 2 types of equipment, a normal one and a compact one, with small limitations on the functionality of the compact variant due to the small size. The standard device will allow the display of multimedia content configurable by the user, consisting mainly of IP TV stream or video signal taken over cable TV with simultaneous display of multiple TV channels and video stream displays of diverse origin. At the same time it will be equipped with a 4G compatible mobile data modem, it will behave like a wireless router, it will be able to connect to the internet via a connection with the RJ45 plug or Wi-Fi, it will have connectivity through: Bluetooth, HDMI, RJ45 and other standard connectors and will be controlled using a SMART remote control that includes a voice assistant solution. The product will allow control of IoT devices using the ZigBee standard. The compact device has a few limitations on functionalities due to its small size and will allow display of multimedia content configurable by the user, consisting mainly of IP TV stream or video signal taken over cable TV with simultaneous display of multiple TV channels and video stream display with diverse origin. The device will be able to connect to the internet via a Wi-Fi connection, it will have connectivity through: Bluetooth, HDMI, and other standard connectors and will be controlled using a SMART remote control that includes a voice assistant solution.
