HD+ operates a satellite DTH platform in Germany to deliver HD/UHD content to 2M+ paying subscribers. Intertrust offers a cloud-based broadcast security solution, ExpressPlay XCA (based on Marlin DRM), which protects content that is broadcast directly to smart TVs (D2TV) without requiring set-top boxes/CAMs.
The HD+ D2TV service protected by ExpressPlay XCA utilizes smart TVs with pre-integrated XCA security. No STBs or CAM modules are required. TV sets are available in German retail stores with HD+ as a factory default. The result: more convenience for viewers, and new opportunities for TV brands/OEMs and video service providers.
