SecureMedia and Oregan Networks offer pre-integrated IP-STB client software for secure delivery of IPTV and VOD services over broadband.
Oregan Media Browser integrated with SecureMedia's Encryptonite CA/DRM client for global Telco and hospitality deploymentsLas Vegas, NV, 15 April 2005 - NAB Show 2005, Oregan Networks, a supplier of convergent media browser software for digital home entertainment devices, and SecureMedia, a leading provider of software-based Conditional Access (CA) and Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems, have jointly announced availability of a pre-integrated embedded solution for the distribution of protected video and music services over broadband networks and subsequent secure consumption across home networks.
The product of the Oregan and SecureMedia partnership has been implemented across a number of leading IP-STB hardware platforms, supporting a wide spectrum of video codecs including MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264 and WMV9. The companies can deliver an integrated SDK for a supported hardware platform, complete with configuration and user interface customisation tools. The solution is also readily portable to new hardware platforms.
Reed Hinkel, Oregan Networks VP of Business Development said, "Content is a major driver in the convergence market, with DRM technologies being the primary facilitator of transition to its digital distribution. The strength of this collaboration lies in the combination of Oregan's broadband and home network media delivery with Encryptonite's lightweight yet robust content protection mechanism, which is backed by leading content providers."
Fred Ellis, CEO of SecureMedia noted, "Oregan Media Browser encapsulates an IPTV / VOD and DLNA client, which enables us to pre-integrate the prerequisite media client building blocks, thus alleviating the task of the end product and system design. The product of the Oregan and Secure Media partnership is a versatile application that traverses the Broadcast, Broadband and PC worlds, allowing multiple media access functionalities to be controlled via a unified user interface while ensuring content security. The resulting platform is entirely software-based and platform agnostic, permitting its speedy integration on a variety of operating systems and hardware processor architectures."
During the NAB Show, SecureMedia and Oregan Networks will showcase an end-to-end protected content delivery ecosystem comprising Oregan Media Browser and the Encryptonite CA/DRM System. The ecosystem facilitates streaming, decrypting and decoding of encrypted media from an Internet-based server, with optional caching via an internal storage device.
The SecureMedia-Oregan Networks solution has been proven in successful field trials within the Japanese market in 2004, and the two companies are currently expanding their broadband entertainment services portfolio in response to the increasing demand for and availability of internet-based media.
