AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, 2013-09-13 07:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
(IBC 2013, Entropic Meeting Suite: Hall 13, G106/G107) - Entropic
(Nasdaq:ENTR), a world leader in semiconductor solutions for the connected
home, today announced LG CNS, the leading IT services company in South Korea,
has selected Entropic's Verimatrix-certified, high-performance hybrid set-top
box (STB) system-on-a-chip (SoC) to deliver a secure and powerful TV viewing
experience.
A hybrid (Cable/IPTV) STB, the new LG CNS solution leverages Entropic's most
powerful STB SoC family, the EN757x/EN758x, which features a dual-core ARM(r)
Cortex(tm)-A9 processor with 5000 DMIPS and ecosystem support for the Google
Android(r) operating system. LG CNS and Entropic have a long history of
partnership and worked together on this new device to deliver a system solution
that merged traditional broadcast content, video-on-demand and IP-based
entertainment.
'We selected Entropic because they offered a high performance, low-power
solution coupled with deep domain expertise in supporting the Android
ecosystem,' said Deog-Joo Won, Vice President of Telecommunication and Media
BU, LG CNS. 'Further, as our hybrid solution requires bi-directional, IP-based
network support, we needed an advanced security chipset that would protect the
premium content of our Pay-TV operator customers.'
Enhanced Security with Verimatrix
To optimize the security architecture, Entropic embedded on its SoC hardware a
robust, software-based content protection platform from Verimatrix, the
specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-network, multi-screen
digital TV services around the globe. Using Verimatrix Video Content Authority
System (VCAS(tm)) and ViewRight(r) STB security solution, the LG CNS device offers a
proven solution to protecting Pay-TV operator content.
'Although the rapid growth of two-way, IPTV networks has expanded the world of
consumer entertainment and interactivity, it has also opened up a new world of
potential programming theft and content piracy,' said Petr Peterka, chief
technology officer, Verimatrix. 'We worked closely with Entropic to enhance
revenue security on their STB SoC and ensure LG CNS can offer a product that
alleviates any security concerns.'
'Building on our relationship with LG CNS we understood their need for a
competitive, advanced set-top box solution with added security capabilities,'
said Roger Gregory, vice president, Marketing, Entropic. 'We partnered with
Verimatrix, a recognized security expert, to integrate their cardless
conditional access technology into our system-on-a-chip solution to enable
customers, like LG CNS, and Pay-TV operators' content protection in the growing
IPTV world.'
The STB is being demonstrated this week in Amsterdam at the IBC Exhibition,
September 13-17, in Entropic's Meeting Suite, Hall 13, G106/G107. For more
