In the past, most pay-TV platforms operated in a vertical market or “silos.“ Content was produced and pay-TV operators would broadcast this content directly to a set-top box or DVR.
The market is changing and NDS is already helping operators become multi-platform operators—delivering content to many devices using a variety of transmission methods.
Today’s viewers want to watch content from broadcast TV, Video-On-Demand or the Internet—either at home or on the go. Consumers want to enjoy content on TVs, PCs, PMPs, mobile devices, and on removable media.
But that’s not all. They want to be able to look up Internet information on a star or musician while they watch TV. They want to order a sports event from their mobile, or send a movie from their PC or DVR as a birthday gift to a friend’s mobile.
NDS is focused on seamlessly delivering pioneering technology that allows our customers to blend and deliver the best range of content available; Web-based entertainment, On-Demand and broadcast programming.
NDS is delivering solutions for convergence like the Unified Headend, a security product that helps you centralize content consumption on multiple devices from a single headend. At the consumer end, our Master GUI/EPG provides a similar and consistent interface across different devices, simplifying the customer interaction with content and making it easier for customers to use your service.
The bottom line? Leading operators who want to succeed in convergence are turning to NDS. Our experience, helping platforms succeed worldwide, and our innovative convergence for solutions will make you a market leader.
