New Delhi/UK – In a move set to redefine digital migration in India and the digital pay-TV space in the other emerging markets, including Africa, Exset, pioneers of TV ecosystems for emerging markets, and Digital Telemedia (DTM) have announced their co-operation. Digital Telemedia, a subsidiary  of Shenzhen Jiuzhou Co. Ltd., has become a Digital Monetisation System (DMS) technology partner.

DTM will develop value-based MPEG-4 set-top-boxes for digital cable in South Asia as well as for deployment with some key DTH platforms using Exset CAS. The boxes will also be suitable for use with Exset’s DMS technology for other emerging markets. DMS allows digital television platforms to be created that can then be monetised where previously impossible. This means populations can benefit from new information and entertainment services, while partnering governments can achieve digital switchover bringing social transformation.

“Exset is delighted to extend its philosophy of ‘Digitisation is Monetisation’ through its award-winning DMS technology to these markets using its CAS, which is implemented on more than 13 million STB’s globally. This includes the largest DTH in EMEA, which has more than 10 million subscribers. A proven STB partner like DTM helps us in offering value-based technologies to our Indian cable partners and our pay-TV customers globally,” said Rahul Nehra, Global Head of Sales and Marketing, Exset.
