KT announced on the 9th that it has launched the 'Genie TV Set-Top Box A2.' KT said it introduced a new set-top box that incorporates Genie TV's core AI features while reducing the burden of usage fees.
The 'Genie TV Set-Top Box A2' has a compact circular design measuring 120×120×30 mm and weighing 186 g. The product is powered by the Android TV 14 platform, allowing users to access a range of OTT services at the same time.
It also applies an LLM-based AI agent to support conversational content search. Even without knowing the exact title, users can search for content and browse titles based on descriptions of the plot and cast. AI SR(Super Resolution) technology is also applied to improve the picture quality of low-resolution content by up to 4K UHD level.
In addition, it offers an 'AI real-time subtitles' feature that provides subtitles for live channel broadcasts. It also delivers optimized sound by applying differentiated audio bandwidth by content.
KT said it will offer a care service that includes rental of the Genie TV Set-Top Box A2+. The terms are a 3-year contract, and the fee is KRW 5,500 per month, including VAT. That is lower than the general rental fee of KRW 7,700 per month, including VAT, based on a 3-year contract, which the company said is a low-cost offering aimed at easing the burden on customers.
KT also prepared cost support for long-term users and damage-related replacement cases. Customers who have used the device for more than 5 years after subscribing to the care service and replace an aging set-top box with a new model will be exempted from one on-site service fee. In addition, if a customer who has used the service for at least 3 months replaces the set-top box or remote control due to damage, KT will fully cover the first customer copayment.
KT launched 'Genie TV Everybody G,' a VOD pricing product, in June this year. Following its previous pricing product, KT is continuing the effort to accelerate innovation in the overall customer experience of Genie TV through the launch of this device.
Yoon Jin-hyun, executive vice president and head of KT's Media Technology Division, said the Genie TV Set-Top Box A2 is a device that offers core functions, AI-based convenient viewing experiences, a compact design, and low usage burden. He added that KT plans to continue innovating the overall customer experience of Genie TV.
