NAGRA On-Demand

The need to access content according to their own terms and not somebody else’s schedule has become a critical requirement from end users. Telecom and Cable operators are taking advantage of their two-way networks to provide a rich mix of on-demand services.

Building on our unique expertise combining both broadcast and managed IP networks, NAGRA can provide IPTV and Cable service providers with a fully integrated end-to-end on-demand solution delivering the most innovative and personalised services to end users. This solution enables new and existing digital television deployments to be extended to encompass a range of on-demand services while offering service providers the investment protection and the flexibility they are looking for to address future service requirements.

Fully Integrated, End-to-End server-to-client Solution

NAGRA’s comprehensive On-Demand solution 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 and industry leading user interface reference designs.

Sustainable Revenue Model

By deploying NAGRA’s On-Demand solution, service providers have an arsenal of options available for accelerating customer acquisition, reducing churn and increasing Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). NAGRA offers an extensive catalog of interactive features ranging from advanced EPGs to VOD with catch-up TV and start-over support.

Broad Choice of Devices

NAGRA understands service providers’ need for choice between multiple set-top box models (from SD to high-end HD PVR/DVR) from multiple vendors. NAGRA, due to our early commitment to the horizontal device market, has built a highly experienced team in device integration (Middleware, CAS and DRM). More than 120 different set-top box models from over 60 set-top box partners are integrated and certified on a yearly basis.

Efficiency at All Times

NAGRA’s On-Demand solution has been built upon the NAGRA Federated Headend which offers the tools to manage, secure and operate, from a single head end, a wide range of media services across multiple delivery networks, devices and content types. This approach reduces the continued cost of ownership through multiple enabling capabilities.

Adaptability and Scalability

NAGRA’s solution is built for supporting a variety of business models and can be readily adapted to suit the changing delivery and service capabilities of each specific service provider. Building on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and SDK, it provides the ability to easily add or modify applications. NAGRA’s solution can easily scale from thousands to millions to accommodate growing needs through efficient and robust service delivery and transaction server infrastructure.

Elevating the User Experience

The ability to easily browse and find any content under universal interface has become a clear requirement from consumers. NAGRA is offering an integrated user experience through our UI framework that enables consumers to navigate intuitively through thousands of video-on-demand, internet and locally stored content, in addition to linear channels.
