Consistency, Cost-Effectiveness, Connectivity, and Creativity
Middleware is the software layer inside the set-top box that dramatically enhances your broadcast service. To optimize and save money on set-top boxes—the biggest single investment for operators—you need MediaHighway set-top box software from NDS.
MediaHighway minimizes the cost of set-top boxes by separating hardware and software, allowing you to source the right set-top boxes for your operation. With MediaHighway, you can easily add new features while maintaining a consistent branded look across all boxes.
As new businesses—including content producers and content aggregators—seek to enter the market with OTT, On Demand and streaming video, savvy operators need an STB platform that can turn broadband and Internet threats into profitable opportunities. MediaHighway keeps you the primary portal for all types of video consumption, enabling home networking and fulfilling the promise of convergence – content anywhere, anytime on any device.
Technical support is reduced because all set-tops use one backwards-compatible software to minimize ongoing development and maintenance costs as well as training.
Integrating new applications is simplified since MediaHighway comes with its own development kit, providing “author once, use on many” capabilities.
NDS is the leader when it comes to deploying middleware with different manufacturers, models and chipsets. NDS middleware has been integrated on more than 20 different chipsets and has been shipped in more than 152 million set-top boxes.
That’s why over 3 dozen leading operators have selected MediaHighway.
