Singapore – NDS has announced that its technology is enabling Indonesia Pay-TV and DTH operator Indovision, to kick-start a migration of its more than one million subscribers from MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 set-top boxes for enhanced TV services including interactivity.

Supported by a suite of end-to-end NDS solutions including VideoGuard conditional access and MediaHighway set-top box software, Indovision is in the process of deploying MPEG-4 set-top boxes to its entire subscriber base, enabling the launch of both high-quality SD and HD services in a cost-effective manner.

In addition to providing high-quality linear TV services, both the SD and HD set-top boxes will allow users to access an interactive portal using their remote control, with games including Aquatika and Monkey Medallion and educational applications such as Spelling Whizz and Painter Puzzle. 

The NDS MediaHighway Development Kit will also enable Indovision to independently develop and add additional games to the platform. This is the first deployment of its type in the Indonesian Pay-TV market.
