More success for Synamedia has arrived in the form of Thailand’s largest pay-TV operator TrueVisions extending its seven-year usage of the independent video software provider’s VideoGuard technology.

TrueVisions is majority owned by True Corporation Plc, a leading provider of telecommunication, internet, and technology-related services in Thailand and a member of the Charoen Pokphand Group. It provides popular programmes from around the world covering information, news, sports and entertainment.

As part of the new multi-year contract, VideoGuard — which Synamedia offers through taking on select video assets from Cisco — will see use in protecting and securing TrueVisions’ investments in live sports, news, entertainment and other premium content delivered to its 3.9 million cable and satellite subscribers. The deal ensures that TrueVisions can deliver new premium, blended broadcast/IP services to customers without compromising on security. In 2019, TrueVisions will roll out an Android TV set-top box which will also be protected by VideoGuard.

“We have benefitted from VideoGuard’s industry-leading security since 2011 to secure our investments in premium content,” remarked Dr. Jen, procurement director of the True Group of Companies. ‘By extending our partnership with Synamedia we are protecting our brand with the world’s leading set-top box security solution and safeguarding subsequent potential revenues as we look to enhance and enrich our subscribers’ viewing experiences with new blended broadcast/IP services.”
