29-Jan-04

Building on their current relationship, NDS and Rainbow DBS, the Cablevision company offering VOOM, have launched a first-of-its-kind Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) built specifically for high-definition programming. Further, within a few months, VOOM will transition its conditional access over to NDS's VideoGuard protection. With the full integration of VideoGuard conditional access, all content delivered by VOOM over satellite will be protected and enhanced through VideoGuard's wide ranging feature set. Using NDS's Digital Video Recorder content protection and storage technology, VOOM will also be able to offer its subscribers a secure networked DVR product that supports the safe distribution of content throughout the home. Additionally, the collaboration will bring to market the first HDTV solution using a Motorola set-top box integrated with NDS conditional access technology. ìWe have brought the first comprehensive set of HD programming to subscribers throughout the country,î said Mickey Alpert, COO of Rainbow DBS. ìThis agreement will set a new standard in high-definition services, and we're happy to lead the way. Through this partnership with NDS, we can now offer our subscriber base the most advanced set of capabilities for an unprecedented HDTV viewing experience.î The new agreement also builds upon an existing relationship with Cablevision whereby NDS provides conditional access solutions to many of its digital cable customers. ìThe rich high-definition content which VOOM brings to its subscribers is truly a competitive offering,î said Dov Rubin, VP and General Manager, NDS Americas. ìWith the addition of the high-definition EPG, and the content protection of VideoGuard in the DVR technology, NDS is working with VOOM to bring an unmatched set of technologies to its HD subscribers.î For more information on NDS, please visit www.nds.com.
