Dish TV, ALi to Launch Project Liberty

Taipei, Noida and New Delhi – February 9, 2017 – ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) chipset provider, and Dish TV, Asia’s largest Direct-to-Home (DTH) operator, will launch the Liberty project, accelerate convergence and target future expansion opportunities. The Liberty project is based on ALi Corp.’s cutting-edge and sophisticated SoC technology to provide next-generation performance, security, and flexibility while remaining cost-effective for the India market. The aim of the project is to enhance subscriber experience and provide value-added services to expand Dish TV’s market share and revenue stream increase in the near future.

India is the largest DTH market in the world based on the number of subscribers. According to statistic reports in 2016, the DTH subscriber number reached approximately 65 million in India. Since the introduction of the first DTH service in 2003 by Dish TV, the market has experienced exponential growth through multiple digitalization phases. Throughout Phase 1 and Phase 2, four metropolitan areas of Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata had gone digital in 2012. In Phase 3, most of the urban areas in India had gone digital and completed ASO (Analogue Switch-Off) process. As Phase 4 is around the corner, the operators are looking forward to the opportunity targeting at the households in rural areas and thus the whole country will be digitalized. For operators to stay ahead of the game, chipset technology plays a significant role in their capability to supply value-added yet secured services that will help them establish a wider subscriber base by offering enriched viewing experience.

“Dish TV serves over 14 million subscribers by 2016, leading the Indian DTH market,” said VK Gupta, COO, Dish TV. “To maintain our market leadership and prepare for future opportunities, we implemented ALi Corp.’s SoC solution to launch the Liberty project, which will improve our DTH operations. ALi Corp. has the expertise to help us provide whatever it takes to realize the true spirit of the Liberty project.

“Ranked among the world’s top 3 with a good chance to be further boosted amid the industry reshuffle, ALi Corp. has a proven track record in delivering high-performing and competitive STB chipset solutions,” said Tony Chang, Chief Operating Officer of ALi Corp. “The Dish TV deployment of ALi Corp. SoC platforms further signifies recognition on our global achievements in helping partners go through ASO and digitalization processes. We are confident to offer innovative and revolutionary features and services to Indian views and we will fully support Dish TV in their expansion”.

Visitors to Convergence 2017 will be able to see live demonstrations of ALi chipset solutions at Hall 12, #E128.

IBC Expo, Amsterdam - September 08, 2016 - ALi Corporation, a leading Set-Top Box (STB) chipset provider, today announced that it has further extended its partnership with security partner Conax, a leader in total content and service protection for digital entertainment services. As the first chipset provider receiving Conax CP 6.0 certification for cardless, ALi has integrated its HEVC series system on chip (SoC) with the Conax robust cardless security client, enabling a new generation of comprehensive and secure cardless set-top-boxes. The unique capabilities of Conax Cardless technology is now embedded deeply into the leading ALi HEVC series SoCs, utilizing advanced security features such as Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and hardware root-of-trust to enable a multi-layered security architecture, providing a highly secure and cost efficient platform for cardless STBs for Conax customers.

• Partnership facilitates the broader delivery of a seamless next generation personal TV experience across a full range of video enabled devices
• graphyne2 platform pre-integration with newest ALi system-on-chip technology enables quick, simple, risk-free delivery of powerful new set-top-box multiscreen features
• ODM’s and operators benefit from certified interoperability and performance optimisation through joint engineering efforts



Geneva, Switzerland, Taipei, Taiwan – 06 September 2016 – ADB, a leading provider of solutions and services for media convergence, has announced an extension of its strategic partnership with set-top-box (STB) chipset provider ALi that will enable more makers of TV equipment such as STBs to deploy the advanced features of ADB’s new graphyne2 next-generation personal TV software platform.

 

ALi will incorporate graphyne2 technology into its newest HEVC system-on-chip (SoC) family. The pre-integration cooperation will allow original device manufacturers (ODMs) using ALi chipsets to utilise graphyne2’s cutting-edge features quickly and consistently. The result will be enhanced performance through ALi chipsets, allowing ODMs to more easily support efforts by pay-TV operators to provide a seamless user experience across smartphones, tablets, PCs, smart TVs, STBs and other devices.

 

The live introduction of graphyne2, including demonstrations of its Multiscreen UX optimised user interface, second screen app and other features, will be at IBC in Amsterdam 8-12 September at the ADB Booth (5.B60). Visitors to IBC will also be able to see first-hand how ODMs and operators can benefit from state-of-the-art chip technology at the ALi Suite (BM 19 & 20, 2F, Hall 1).

 

Wojciech Doganowski, Vice President Product Marketing, Personal TV at ADB, comments: “Within our ecosystems of ConnectedOS partners, the extension of our relationship with ALi provides a proven and effective way of delivering STB’s that offer industry leading personalisation features along with seamless compatibility for added value elements, including a back-end provisioning platform and extended functions such as direct marketing messaging and audience tracking.”

 

“Through this agreement and our wider partner programme, we give pay TV operators the widest possible choice of solutions and flexibility without compromising on reliability or future upgradability,” he adds.

 

The joint solution with ADB supports full HD1080P60, MVC video decoding and multi-stream, as well as features such as USB media, VOD and YouTube.

 

“The extension of our partnership with ADB offers tremendous advantages for our system development clients and TV operators,” Tony Chang, Chief Operating Officer, ALi Corporation, says. “Integrating the graphyne2 personal TV solution into ALi’s high-performing chipset will enable operators to bring innovative TV experiences to viewers everywhere while offering operators new tools to unlock value added services and operating models.”

 

In meeting consumer demand for cutting-edge STB’s and other media streaming devices that deliver high quality content through a consistent set of features, pay-TV operators are keen to reduce the cost and the complexity of managing a diverse set of customer premise equipment. At the same time, they still need a common platform that enables the rapid delivery of new services and facilitates the introduction of new revenue drivers.

 

Peter Balchin, Chief Executive Officer of ADB, notes: “The continuation and evolution of our partnership with ALi provides our clients, both ODM and pay-TV operators, more flexibility over the customer premise equipment they require to deliver the best services – while balancing features and cost. Closer relationships between chipset providers and the software ecosystem is essential to ensure that the next generation of pay-TV and OTT services are able to deliver against the expectations of consumers in a highly competitive market.”

 

The graphyne2 platform has been built on 20 years of continuous technology development for cable, satellite, IPTV and OTT service providers. The new platform delivers a cloud-optimised solution for next-generation pay-TV and OTT. It builds upon, and is backwards-compatible with ADB’s award winning Carbo and GraphyneTV UX, as well as ADB’s UniphyneTV middleware.
