Vestel and Intertrust Partner to Deliver TVs using Intertrust ExpressPlay XCA for Broadcast Video Protection and Management
Summary
ExpressPlay XCA is Intertrust’s video conditional access system (CAS) based on the open standard Marlin DRM (Digital Rights Management) technology. The announcement was applauded by leading DTH operators in Europe who have long sought to break free from the overhead of traditional CAS, which have failed to penetrate the TV market to date. This means that we can focus on providing the best possible viewing experience for our customers and offering a real differentiator in the market.” Intertrust co-founded the Marlin DRM open standard with Sony, Samsung, Philips, and Panasonic in 2005. Marlin DRM is ideal for this and through its open nature, is devoid of proprietary agendas and hidden costs and provides operators with a seamless bridge between over the top, broadcast, and mobile video services. As one of the leading enterprises in Turkey, Vestel is a major player in consumer electronics such as smart TVs, digital set top boxes, mobile technologies, household appliances, professional displays and LED lighting.
