Taking Advantage of Convergence

NDS Mobile TV supports content delivery to one-way and two-way devices. It also integrates with a variety of handset models, chipsets, mobile operating systems and SIMs.

In other words, your pay-TV business can take video entertainment to the next level by delivering a full range of services to different devices:

Electronic Service Guide (ESG). The user friendly ESG displays all the content and services you offer. It also features a customizable, state-of-the-art GUI with your branding. NDS VideoGuard Mobile TV solutions let you offer the same look and feel across all devices that carry your pay-TV service.

On-Demand Services. VideoGuard Mobile TV lets you securely stream or download content directly to the subscriber’s devices – either in-band within the broadcast stream, or out-of-band through the mobile network.

Mobile Digital Video Recorder (mDVR). The secure, integrated mobile DVR introduces time-shifted viewing for the mobile consumer. What happens when the phone rings while customers are watching their favorite program? With the NDS mDVR solution, your subscribers  can pause and record the video, take the call and continue to view their program later because it is stored in the phone or on removable storage.

Interactive services. NDS has developed a suite of interactive applications for mobile devices that enhance the viewing experience and generate new revenue opportunities. These applications include games, voting, personalized weather forecasts, participatory TV and a range of information services. VideoGuard Mobile TV also supports targeted and located-based interactive advertising.

Audience measurement. Better understand your audience and their usage profiles with the  NDS Audience Measurement System (AMS) provides secure reports of second-by-second viewer interaction with STBs including linear TV, ESGs, DVRs and interactive applications. The NDS AMS lets you evaluate how your viewers use different applications so that you can personalize your service to meet their preferences.

VideoGuard Mobile TV enables operators to earn revenue by providing mechanisms for their end-users to access content by using the ESG, offering interactive applications that can increase income, and most importantly, by using VideoGuard conditional access to protect Mobile TV transmissions from unauthorized use.
