APAC ANDROID TV SUMMIT
–
Synaptics® Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNA), the
leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced its
VideoSmart® quad-core multimedia SoC has been selected by Google as
an approved Widevine conditional access system (CAS) solution for
Android TV. Together with castLabs, the trio will demonstrate at
the APAC Android TV Summit an end-to-end Widevine CAS workflow
including hardware level security and content delivery.
Brian Baker, Director Product Management, Widevine
said: “Google's Widevine CAS empowers PayTV operators with
a free-to-use CAS ecosystem solution for secure content delivery.
We welcome and very much appreciate Synaptics’ dedicated
engineering leadership in Widevine CAS integrations and look
forward to seeing additional global service operators bring to
market new innovative and affordable Android TV media streaming
solutions.”
Saleel Awsare, SVP & GM, IoT Division, Synaptics
said: “Synaptics is the global Android TV market-leader
and has deployed and maintained powerful and highly advanced
multimedia processor technology in service provider media streaming
devices for many generations. Our innovative and complete line of
VideoSmart SoCs, along with our Ecosystem and OEM/ODM partners,
empowers service operators with a high-performance and swift
time-to-market solution backed by a cost-effective platform that
addresses the rapidly expanding Android TV marketplace.”
Michael Stattmann, CEO, castLabs
said: “We are excited to partner with Synaptics to launch
the first Widevine CAS enabled device platform which fully relies
on the standard Android TV media framework and castLabs’ hybrid
PRESTOplay for Android player SDK rather than custom middleware.
This greatly reduces customization and integration efforts for the
ODM and operator, improving time to market and cost efficiency
while making the solution easy to certify based on the reference
BSP. Together with castLabs’ cloud based multi-DRM and CAS service
DRMtoday, hybrid broadcast/OTT services can be deployed with a
single integration on backend as well as device side.”
