Content security provider Irdeto introduced its Digital TV SmartStart, a solution designed to ease the launch of new digital TV operations, at IBC2007
SmartStart incorporates the Irdeto Digital TV conditional access (CA) solution with a modular customer care and billing system and STB middleware.
Irdeto created the SmartStart package to provide an end-to-end solution for any size of cable, satellite or terrestrial operator, the company said. SmartStart’s pre-integration eliminates system responsibility issues by supplying a single solution, said the provider. Post-integration support is also centralized into a single point of contact for all technical support and service issues.
The SmartStart solution is scalable from thousands to many millions of customers. Additional modules from partners Brand-ID and TeleIDEA enable functionalities such as pre-paid vouchers and an advanced EPG to be easily added and customized according to customer requirements.
SmartStart is also customizable with full interactive capabilities thanks to IDway-J middleware, the company said.
