Taking Pay-TV where it hasn't been
There used to be no professional pay-TV systems for medium and small operators. Why?
A main reason is the CAS market dynamics: The larger the operation, the more robust the pay-TV system must be against piracy. Costs rise with larger responsibility, and CAS prices therefore don’t fall (much) with volume.
Also, with their security reputation being very important, CAS vendors impose restrictions on the integration and use of their CAS. This also add costs.
With branded CAS being too complex or expensive, less serious solutions have mostly been the options offered small/medium operators.
With Quintic, our aim is to offer even small operators a professional pay-TV solution – taking pay-TV where it hasn’t been.
Quintic CAS
Quintic is a content protection system for digital TV supporting all main ways of selling, delivering, ordering and paying for TV content. Quintic is based on decades of pay-TV experience mixed with the latest technologies. The resulting composite is light and powerful covering the needs from small- to large scale operations.
Digital Bridge: Complete Solutions
Composing a complete infrastructure may require knowledge and experience an operator don’t have. The options are either to hire a system-integrator or risk doing mistakes.
Quintic is ready integrated with affordable head ends and STBs forming complete digital platforms supporting MPEG-2, MPEG-4, SD/HD, EPG, PVR and more. We call our pre-integrated solution Digital Bridge.
