IPTV Encryption
Historically broadcast delivery systems have been limited by their dependency on smart card and other hardware-centric technologies. As the transformation of entertainment via IP is underway secure delivery and access control are more vital than ever. A software solution utlizing standards-based security for these communications is the best solution. Helius technology consists of client and server components which together provide a software-based encryption solution between broadcast head-ends and set-top devices.

Electronic News Gathering
The collection of real time broadcast news is rapidly changing.  As new digital cameras make their way into the hands of staff news photographers, their ability to capture and distribute content becomes critical.  In lieu of tapes coming in from the field, digital video can be captured to a computing device and transferred to the headquarters and/or affiliate stations instantaneously.

Helius technology provides infrastructure for the distribution, encryption, storage and management of collected IP video content.

Media Asset Management
From broadcast newsrooms to companies using video for training purposes, many organizations have a host of video assets and their numbers are increasing daily.   The desire to re-use and re-purpose this content is creating a new management challenge in video asset management.

The storage, distribution and manipulation of these assets are at the heart of Helius technology. We have partnered with Harris Corporation to deliver an Intelligent Transport system for video assets delivery, manipulation, management and re-distribution.
