At the heart of this device lies the System on a Chip (SoC). This is a powerful yet cost-effective processor designed by Ali Corp. It is widely favored in the FTA market because of its stability and its ability to handle high-definition video decoding (MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264) with relatively low power consumption. The 3606 series is the successor to the older ALI3329, offering faster processing speeds and better UI rendering.
