Set-top Box Specification and Integration
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 optimising 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.
