The integration of NDS MediaHighway set-top software with connected Huawei set-top boxes will enable the delivery and optimization of advanced services such as Video On Demand (VOD) - the ability to watch HD movies and TV series, documentaries, sports and entertainment at any time, Catch-up TV services - providing the capability to catch up on missed programming within one week, and Time Shift TV - enabling subscribers to pause live, rewind up to 2 hours and fast-forward to what is being broadcasted on any live TV channel.
The combination of the latest high-definition technology from Huawei and the advanced capabilities of the NDS MediaHighway set-top box software also provide support for advanced and engaging two-way interactive applications such as games and information on flights, weather and government services.
Hong Yudong, Director of STB Product Line of Huawei Device, commented, "We are pleased to be working with NDS to deploy these advanced HD VOD services to Wenzhou cable subscribers. We are looking forward to cooperating with NDS to deliver greatly enhanced digital-pay TV solutions to other advanced operators, in the booming Chinese market."
