NAGRA Media Player

The need for accessing content anywhere and anytime, and from any source, has become a universal requirement of consumers. A full multiscreen strategy poses the challenge of enabling devices with different capabilities while living up to the same level of user experience consumers have come to expect from their set-top boxes.

NAGRA Media Player (NMP) is a complete solution for service providers to securely extend the TV experience to open consumer electronics (CE) devices including PCs, tablets, smartphones and more. NMP can deliver live, linear and on-demand content, from free-to-air to high value assets without compromising on security. It is available either as standalone product or as part of a pre-integrated bundled solution.

Fully Integrated and Secure Solution for Open Devices

NAGRA Media Player allows service providers to generate new revenue streams through multiple business models including subscription, transactional video-on-demand (VOD) and event based purchase models or to simply enhance the value of the offering to existing customers. NMP is also a major asset when it comes to reaching “off-net” customers or a new “multi-screen generation” of users.

A Consistent User Experience

Leveraging the extensive experience of NAGRA in the field of user interface (UI) usability, NAGRA is offering an integrated user experience through its highly flexible UI framework. The reference user interfaces are tailored for different devices and device capabilities while the same service provider branded look and feel can be applied across multiple screen types.

Simplifying the Headend

NMP has been fully integrated as part of the NAGRA Federated Headend which offers the tools to “define, secure and deliver”, from a single head end, a wide range of media services across multiple devices, delivery networks and content types. It has been designed to reduce the cost of ownership through features such as centralised digital asset management, common monitoring and many more.

Flexibility at All Levels

Building a multiscreen offering within a variety of content sources and device requirements requires a highly flexible and versatile platform. New devices need to be constantly added. These are prerequisites that have been taken into account by NAGRA from day one at all levels across its solution, from the headend to the client side.

Extending the Distribution of High-value Content

NAGRA’s solution is built to allow operators to deliver a consistent programming offering across all devices including open CE devices. Leveraging on NAGRA’s widely recognized security leadership, NAGRA’s award-winning digital rights management technology (NAGRA Media PRM) has been integrated in the NMP as part of a best-of-breed multi-layer software security approach to enable service providers to safely distribute high-value content beyond the set-top boxes.
