RDK6 is the newest open source software release, supporting both IP and Hybrid video platforms. It integrates over-the-top (OTT) video apps through the FireboltTM framework, standardizing interfaces for video playback, digital rights management (DRM), graphics, and security. RDK6 builds upon previous RDK releases to further simplify app development, enhance security, and standardize functionality across diverse set-top box hardware.


Key capabilities and benefits of RDK6 include:

  • Support for various DRM solutions, video security integrations, and the WebKit browser
  • Improved efficiency of video app integration and core video functionality management across chipsets and device manufacturers
  • An updated certification suite to ensure consistency and performance of your devices
  • Device-agnostic downloadable application containers for native video apps and AppArmor-based access control
  • Containerized browser instances for LightningTM or HTML5 streaming apps
  • Unified Application Interface with Firebolt

Key features of RDK6:

  • Pre-certified apps package - includes pre-installed apps such as YouTube, Amazon Prime, and Alexa
  • Voice search and pre-integrated voice remotes  
  • Updated RDK Reference UI - Lightning-based interface for RDK Reference devices and video accelerators
  • Firebolt - Standardized specification for integrating Native and web applications
  • Unified player interface for IP, OTT, and hybrid devices
  • Security enhancement using app sandboxing (Containerization)  and access control (AppArmor)
  • Device management using firmware upgrade, Telemetry, WebPA.
