RockTek is actively expanding its presence in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, aiming to meet the growing demand for smart home entertainment worldwide.

Partnership for Global Expansion

In this global launch of the "Twin Stars" products, RockTek has partnered with Elebao Technology Co., Ltd. (Website) to leverage both companies' resources and technological strengths. Together, they will promote the products in various sales regions. This partnership not only strengthens RockTek’s influence in international markets but also lays a solid foundation for exploring more opportunities in the future.

Twin Stars' Key Features, Diverse Applications

GB1 (TVDongle) is a portable smart entertainment device, equipped with the RTD1315C high-end A55 chip from Realtek. With a compact size of just 7 cm square, it delivers strong performance despite its small form factor. Featuring 2T2R MIMO technology, it significantly enhances WiFi 5 transmission efficiency, ensuring stable and smooth streaming. Additionally, the Type-C interface not only powers the device but also allows for versatile expansion with a Type-C Hub. Its flexibility and compact design embody the concept of "portable entertainment, usable anywhere," making it perfect for travel, business trips, camping, or gatherings.

GX1 is the ideal choice for a home smart entertainment hub, featuring the RTD1325 high-end A55 chip, 4GB DDR4, and 32GB eMMC 5.1. It supports the latest WiFi 6 technology, providing excellent connectivity and stability. Furthermore, GX1 integrates AI-PQ (AI Picture Quality) and AI-SR (AI Super Resolution) technologies to deliver superior visual performance:

AI-PQ: Smartly analyzes the colors, contrast, and brightness in the image, automatically optimizing the picture quality for more realistic and vivid visuals.

AI-SR: Uses artificial intelligence to upscale lower-resolution images to higher resolutions, enhancing overall picture detail and making every frame sharper and clearer.

These technologies combined make the GX1 stand out as a home entertainment solution, providing consumers with an elevated viewing and gaming experience.

Leading Technology, Versatile Applications

Currently, both the GB1 and GX1 are running the latest stable version of Google TV 12. With the release of Google TV version 14 next year, both products will be updated online to deliver the latest features. In addition, both models fully support mainstream streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, Disney+, and more, as well as various audio and video formats such as HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos, providing users with an ultimate audiovisual experience.

Market Expansion, Targeting Global Reach

RockTek emphasizes that the "Twin Stars" plan is not just an upgrade of hardware products but also a key strategy to expand into more application domains. The company is actively deploying GB1 and GX1 in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East and plans to launch more innovative products to meet the growing demand for smart entertainment worldwide.

With the arrival of Google TV version 14, RockTek's GB1 and GX1 will lead the new wave of smart entertainment, offering users an enhanced and upgraded entertainment experience.
