NAGRA CONNECT is a single, converged CAS/DRM client that fully supports multiple networks, devices and use cases, while reducing complexity and cost. It can be implemented on set-top boxes, open devices or selected Connected TVs, and includes the ability to secure streaming services such as CANAL+ Group's MyCanal to set-top boxes. It is approved by third-party auditors and Hollywood studios for the protection of 4K Ultra HD content.
NAGRA acquired Canal+ Technology's conditional access technology Mediaguard year's ago, so the extension of the conditonal access agreement last September that leads to this 4K encryption deal is not surprising.
