Digital pay TV firm NDS has partnered with Huawei to enable the delivery of the latest High Definition Video On Demand (VOD) digital-TV solutions to Wenzhou Cable, a branch of China Cable Network.
The integration of NDS MediaHighway set-top software with connected Huawei set-top boxes will enable the delivery of HD movies and TV series, documentaries, sports and entertainment at any time, catch-up TV services, which provides the capability to catch-up on missed programming within one week, and Time Shift TV, enabling subscribers to pause live, rewind up to 2 hours and fast-forward to what is being broadcasted on any live TV channel.
The combination of the latest high definition technology from Huawei and the advanced capabilities of the NDS MediaHighway set-top box software also provide support for advanced and engaging two-way interactive applications such as games and information on flights, weather and government services.
The set top boxes used by Wenzhou Cable will be manufactured by Huawei and powered by NDS MediaHighway set-top box software, secured by NDS VideoGuard Conditional Access software and will incorporate China’s first overlay Electronic Programme Guide through NDS EPG Framework.
