Irdeto Intros Mobile CA System
Irdeto Access has introduced the mobile industry's first conditional access system, a product that could help media organizations more easily deliver content to cellular phones and mobile devices. Ireto's first customer is South Korean phone company SK Telecom, which has more than 1 million customers for video and audio content. SK Telecom created a new satellite digital media broadcasting group to deliver content via satellite to cellular phone users. That move reduces the bandwidth crunch but requires the Irdeto Access CA system to protect the content.
Omneon Finds Home in Middle East
The Middle East continues to be a hotbed of TV and radio buildouts with the Saudi Arabian ministry of information's Riyadh TV studios topping the list of busy broadcasters. Omneon Video Networks said it had been chosen by the Riyadh studio to provide the server and storage platform for production, editing and delivery of news and entertainment content. The system will have more than 100 channels and will work in conjunction with Pinnacle Systems' Liquid Blue nonlinear editing system.
