NAGRA Multiscreen

Being able to access any content at any time regardless of the type of device being used has become a universal requirement from consumers. Service Providers who can quickly deploy a multiscreen solution that offers a seamless experience across devices have the opportunity to not only retain and increase their customer base but also to uplift revenues as consumers are no longer tied to a single consumption pattern.

Building on our unique expertise, combining both broadcast and broadband, NAGRA offers digital TV service providers a complete integrated multiscreen solution. It ensures a seamless user experience across the full range of devices from hybrid set-top boxes through open devices including PCs, tablets, smartphones to CAMs, connected TVs or game consoles. It delivers true convenience and improved content discovery through the use of its global search, personalized recommendations and social networking.

What’s more, it has been built to offer the level of flexibility and efficiency service providers have come to expect to successfully address future service requirements.

Fully Integrated, End-to-End Server-to-Client Solution

NAGRA’s comprehensive offering includes digital asset management, advanced service management and delivery, content protection and a wide range of client technologies including our next generation set-top box middleware, hybrid conditional access modules, an integrated web-based application to multiple open CE devices and an industry leading user interface reference design available across devices.

Sustainable Revenue Model

Designed to maximize revenues while providing several levels of cost efficiencies, NAGRA offers an extensive catalog of end-to-end features starting from video-on-demand, catch-up TV, interactive subscription, PVR/DVR to cross-device bookmarking (session continuity), in-home content sharing, web content access, social network integration as well as the implementation of an applications store model and other interactive services.

Simplifying the Headend

The NAGRA Federated Headend offers the tools to manage, secure and operate, from a single head end, a wide range of media services across multiple delivery networks (broadcast, managed IP, over-the-top, mobile), devices and content types. It has been designed to reduce the cost of ownership through multiple enabling capabilities such as centralised digital asset management across devices and networks, common monitoring and many more.

Flexibility at All Levels

Building a multiscreen offering for a wide variety of content sources and device requirements requires a highly flexible and versatile platform. These are prerequisites that have been taken into account by NAGRA from day one at all levels across our solution, from the headend to the client side. As an example, the service provider has the ability to quickly integrate selected web content platforms thanks to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and SDK.

Extending the Distribution of High-value Content

NAGRA Multiscreen is built to allow operators to deliver a consistent programming offering across all devices including open CE devices. Leveraging NAGRA’s widely recognized security leadership and on our award-winning digital rights management technology, it enables service providers to safely distribute high-value content beyond the set-top boxes.

Elevating the User Experience

The ability to easily find any content under one universal interface has become a clear requirement from consumers. NAGRA is offering an integrated user experience that enables consumers to navigate intuitively through thousands of linear, video-on-demand, internet and locally stored content items. NAGRA’s user interfaces are tailored for different device capabilities while the same operator-branded look and feel can be applied across multiple screens.
