Telecom Lead Asia:Digital Telemedia (DTM), a Shenzhen Jiuzhou subsidiary, will use
CAS to develop MPEG-4 set-top-boxes (STBs) for digital cable in South Asia.
The boxes will also be suitable for use with Exset’s DMS technology. DMS allows digital television platforms to be created that can be monetized where previously impossible.
“DTM’s management vision, global presence and ability to address customers need in the context of Indian and African digitisation was a defining factor in this cooperation,” said Gary Ellis, CTO of Exset.
“Exset’s DMS set-top boxes that are designed and implemented for DMS will be a game-changer globally. We’re pleased to be able to jointly offer high-value STB’s across emerging markets and in particular the Indian cable market,” said Huang Wie, director International Sales, DTM.
DMS technology is implemented on more than 13 million STB’s globally. This includes the largest DTH in EMEA, which has more than 10 million subscribers.
“A proven STB partner like DTM helps us in offering value-based technologies to our Indian cable partners and our pay-TV customers globally,” said Rahul Nehra, global head of Sales and Marketing, Exset.
Digital Monitization System (DMS) solution bridges gap between technology and value-added services. It allows digital television platforms to be created that can be monetized.
