Conax to deliver Conditonal Access for IP TV in Malaysia
Conax AS, a leading supplier of conditional access technology for digital TV, has signed an agreement with MiTV Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (MiTV) for delivering Conax CAstream to their digital broadcasting over Internet Protocol (IP) operation in Malaysia.
Nov 23, 2004
MiTV has successfully created a cost-effective product, utilizing a combination of Internet, transmission technologies and infrastructures (IP/UHF), to address the ever increasing media demands of a wider cross section of the Malaysian market. This combination of technologies is unique to Malaysia.
MiTV's IP TV includes a range of services, e. g. pre-packed play out capability of more than 80 distinct channels, television channels with multitude and interactive elements, Video On Demand, Music On Demand and Pay-Per-View, to name a few.
MiTV has selected the Conax CAstream system and smart cards for their service. Conax CAstream enables operators and content providers to encrypt the streamed IP television content, distribute the encrypted stream via open networks, and selectively determine the receivers who will be able to decrypt and utilise the content. Conax CAstream is a stand-alone security system which allows MiTV to continue using their existing platform and applications, at the same time as they add strong conditional access and security mechanisms.
The platform will also be prepared for Virtual Video-On-Demand (VVOD). VVOD implies that MiTV can automatically download blocks of films to large number of STBs with hard drive during off-peak hours, saving broadband capacity. The TV consumers can browse a catalogue over the movies currently available on the STB hard disc, and choose to view the preferred movie.
"This daring move of MiTV is just yet another confirmation of what we believe is going to be the future broadcasting transmission technology. We are very proud to be selected by MiTV for their revolutionary move into IPTV. Their project is outstanding in Asia, and will also create waves and vibration world wide", says Raza Ansari, Vice President Asia, Conax AS Singapore Branch.
