You can even project photos and videos from your mobile phone and tablet to your large screen TV.
What is Ott?
Ott is the abbreviation of “over the top.” It is a high-definition terminal device that users can watch videos online through the Internet. This application is different from the communication service provided by the current operators. It only uses the network of the operators, while the service is provided by a third party other than the operators. Put, there is no limit to the Internet TV box, “wireless network” is also the most significant difference between Ott box and IPTV box. The Millet box belongs to the Ott box.

It is a new technology that uses the broadband network, integrates Internet, multimedia, communication, and other technologies, and provides a variety of interactive services, including digital TV for home users.
