The SITI PlayTop Set-Top Box will provide a next-generation, superior entertainment experience for our customers, said Suresh Sethiya, Director of Indian Cable Net Company Limited (ICNCL), a Joint Venture partner of SITI Networks Limited.
Designed with operational efficiency at its core, the NAGRA solution provides comprehensive support for Android TV through an end-to-end content protection ecosystem that can be extended at a time of an operator's choosing through additional options such as forensic watermarking and/or anti-piracy services.
Deployed as a service, it enables operators to take advantage of reduced total cost of ownership and regular modular and cloud-driven updates and frameworks for both CAS and DRM integration, while ensuring the ecosystem remains protected from pirates.
We are excited to bring our Next Gen SITI PlayTop Android Set Top Box to our customers. SITI has been at the forefront of delighting them with the latest technology. The launch of SITI PlayTop is another step in our commitment to provide them with Superior Entertainment Experience. We are delighted to partner with Nagra, who provides comprehensive support for Android TV through an end-to-end content protection ecosystem. This box will make any TV Smart while bringing SITI HD Digital Cable Televisions ultimate viewing experience with a DVR facility, declared Anil Malhotra, CEO of SITI Networks Limited.
