While it is the most expensive aspect of digital TV deployment, STB selection is also one of the most important factors affecting the overall success of a digital TV platform. Having formed close relationships with over 25 leading STB vendors, NDS can provide a detailed insight into the specification and future direction of these devices. By optimizing content and data delivery, you ensure maximum performance from your chosen STB. At NDS, we drive down the cost of set-top boxes by licensing our technology to many manufacturers instead of producing the boxes ourselves. This helps operators significantly reduce initial costs and speed up ROI.

Once you've selected an STB, NDS integration labs can manage the processes necessary to integrate all STB components, including NDS conditional access, middleware and EPG, and verify they operate together efficiently.
