NDS and TANDBERG Expand Relationship into IPTV Streaming

NDS and TANDBERG Television are expanding their relationship to provide content protection with IPTV streaming capabilities. Specifically, VideoGuard, part of NDS's IP content protection solution Synamedia, has been integrated into the TANDBERG IP Streamer, which supports the delivery of TV and on demand services over both IP and ATM. NDS said its VideoGuard technology is currently used in over 44 million set-top boxes to protect video content from piracy.



"In a competitive market, telcos and fibre operators are adding video services to differentiate their services. In order to attract the best programming, especially high value sports coverage and movies, they need to be able to rollout highly secure systems that protect both content and revenues," said Noel Matthews, Director of Broadband, TANDERG Television. http://www.tandbergtv.comhttp://www.nds.com
