Hyderabad-based multisystem operator (MSO) Venkata Sai Media Private Limited (VSMPL) has launched its digital TV service Media Vision with content protection technology from NAGRA.



Using NAGRA’s anyCAST content protection and OpenTV middleware technologies, VSMPL is offering cable companies across Andhra Pradesh Media Vision’s 276 standard definition (SD) and 24 high definition (HD) channels, with plans to introduce video-on-demand (VOD), home shopping and other value-added services.

“VSMPL has acted quickly to meet the digitisation timeline set forth by the Indian Government and is now able to reach more local operators with our pre-integrated, scalable and fast time-to-market solutions,” said Jean-Luc Jezouin, NAGRA’s SVP Sales for the Asia Pacific region.

“We are pleased to have been able to support them in this effort helping them deliver advanced functionalities and robust content protection to whole new cable market. We wish them much success with their new platform.”

NAGRA’s ability to provide pre-integrated conditional access and set-top box software solutions across multiple chipsets was a key factor in helping NAGRA deliver the VSMPL services quickly and efficiently, a statement said.
