SES Americom said it will use NDS’ conditional access system for its IP-PRIME video distribution system.
NDS is integrating its VideoGuard conditional access and Synamedia IPTV software into the IP-PRIME network, a centralized, satellite-delivered IP television delivery system that permits telcos to bundle traditional standard and HD television programming on a single line with their voice and broadband services.
The combination of the NDS VideoGuard and Synamedia encryption and security capabilities provide protection from origination at the SES Americom IPTV Broadcast Center in Vernon Valley, N.J., to authorized telco video hubs, all the way to the IP set-top box and throughout a communications network in the home.
