Roku provides the leading Operating System for TV. We design the firmware and cloud services to run optimally across a wide range of Televisions. When developing on Roku OS, it's important for your channels to perform across our wide range of products.
The Roku OS runs across a spectrum of hardware. The main form factors are:
- Roku Players: The original form factor for Roku devices, these are connected devices that stream video also known as Over-the-top transmission (OTT)
- Roku Streaming Sticks: A subset of players, these are smaller HDMI devices that directlt plug into TVs
- Roku Powered: Devices licensed to Pay-TV operators. Typically are variants or exact versions of our Roku Players.
- Roku TVs: Licensed Roku OS to an array of Television manufacturers using our hardware reference designs
Developers building channels need to be test across multiple devices prior to submitting for publication in the Roku Channel Store.
We strongly suggest you have a few devices that represent the different "families" of devices - which we refer to as Code names. For example, Giga is the family of Roku LT, Roku 2 HD, etc that have a similar processor, RAM, and tech specifications.
The following table lists our devices over time - including Roku players, streaming sticks, and TVs. Our Marketing names for hardware are re-used over time (Roku 1, 2, 3 etc) so you will want to ensure you understand which device you have.
Note: All the 'Supported' devices indicate that Roku OS 7 or above runs and will be tested in channel certification.
