Viaccess and NEC collaborate on STB
March 5, 2010
French telco Viaccess and semiconductor manufacture NEC Electronics have announced their collaboration to offer Viaccess' conditional access incorporated in NEC Electronics' new EMMA 3SL/P system-on-chip (SoC), targeted at MPEG-4 HD hybrid set-top boxes (STBs). The combination of Viaccess conditional access and NEC Electronics' EMMA3SL/P will offer STB vendors a secure, easy-to-integrate and cost-effective solution with significantly shorter delivery lead times than are often available in the market, allowing faster time-to-market for operators and manufacturers.
