PacketVideo and Nagravision turn iPhone and WiFi-enabled devices into mobile TVs

13.02.2009

On 11 February, Nagravision, a Kudelski Group company and provider of value-added content protection solutions and the software company PacketVideo (PV) introduced the first conditional access (CA)-enabled version of the Telly device. Created by PV and combined with Nagravision’s Mobile TV solution, Telly turns iPhones, WiFi-enabled phones, portable media players and PCs into mobile television sets. The new solution will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona on 16 to 19 February, at the PacketVideo booth (1C09) and Nagravision hospitality suite, HS02 hall 4, level 4.

Telly is a pocketable device first introduced by PV in February 2008 at Mobile World Congress. The product seamlessly decodes broadcast signals and repurposes them for high quality viewing, automatically recognizing the consumer’s device using patented protocols to ensure optimum rendering of the TV signal. Because Telly optimally processes audio and video signals, consumers have access to secure, premium channels without changing their current handset. Nagravision’s microSD CA card is embedded in the Telly device and the CAS agent is processed inside the unit.

Telly will come in multiple versions, supporting the major mobile broadcast standards, including DVB-H and MediaFLO. The first version will be commercially available next quarter for launch on service operator’s networks.
