SUWANEE, Ga., April 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ARRIS Group Inc.
(NASDAQ: ARRS) and Conax today announced they will be demonstrating
the joint capabilities of ARRIS's DASH repackaging and Conax's
multi-DRM encryption at the annual NAB Show on April 13-16 in Las
Vegas.
The demo will highlight a successful IP video delivery
implementation for one of ARRIS's principal customers in the
Caribbean using ARRIS's Spectrum
SDC software. It features a collaboration with UXP Systems,and
Conax—a leader in total service protection for digital TV and
entertainment services—and represents the first production
deployment of DASH using this ABR format. Attendees will be able to
view the joint demo at Conax's booth SU8517.
ARRIS's Spectrum SDC enables service providers to reduce storage
and delivery costs by removing the need to encode, encrypt and
store each file in multiple formats. The demo will showcase how the
solutions enable service providers to monitor and control each IP
video stream, enabling increased per-session quality and security
management through integration with Conax's DRM technology and UXP
Systems' unified IPTV access. By implementing this repackaging
solution, providers will benefit from enhanced support for Smooth
Streaming-to-DASH, using common encryption format.
"ARRIS is collaborating with its customers around the world to
invent the future of entertainment," said Brian Collie, Vice President, Video Content
Delivery at ARRIS. "We are pioneering those initiatives through
software like Spectrum SDC. It's setting a new standard for DASH
repackaging that's enabling service provider partners to realize
new cost savings with IP video delivery and storage, while allowing
its subscribers to enjoy seamless entertainment across multiple
devices."
"Supporting multiple DRM technologies is essential to reach all
required devices for a TV everywhere service. Conax Contego
supports PlayReady, Widevine, NAGRA PRM and Conax OTT Access, with
Common Encryption (CENC) for a simplified and cost-effective
workflow. We are excited to work with key industry players like
ARRIS and UXP Systems to showcase how operators can benefit from
this innovative DASH implementation software," said Tom Jahr, EVP Products & Marketing, Conax.
