Irdeto, Amlogic launch secure set-top box platform for Netflix

Irdeto, the digital platform security solution provider, and Amlogic, a fabless semiconductor company, have launched a set-top box (STB) platform that is precertified under the Netflix Hailstorm Hybrid programme.

The programme is designed by Netflix to reduce the integration time and effort for pay TV operator partners on the Android TV platform. Devices pre-certified under the programme allow operators to ensure their STB devices can reliably deliver the experience synonymous with Netflix.

“At Amlogic, we have a strong track record of delivering turnkey Android solutions that reduce integration complexity. Our latest hybrid 4K STB solution will help operators bring content services like Netflix to market faster than ever before,” said James Xie, Senior VP of Corporate Business Strategy, Amlogic.

Through this programme, operators leverage Irdeto’s 360-degree security solution that ensures platform integrity and content security.

“Despite an increasingly competitive market, operators cannot compromise on security if they want to protect their business models and support must-have services like Netflix. With this partnership, operators have the peace of mind that they can maintain full control of security on their platform while delivering content their subscribers want, when they want it,” said Steeve Huin, VP of Strategic Partnerships, Business Development and Marketing, Irdeto.

Amlogic is a system-on-a-chip (SoC) partner in the Hailstorm programme, and works closely with Netflix to develop technology capable of processing high-quality video content. Irdeto is a trusted security partner to Netflix as part of the Hailstorm Hybrid programme. The two work together to ensure seamless and secure content consumption across broadcast and online entertainment platforms.

The combined ready-for-market solution includes a STB platform, powered by Amlogic S905X3/C1, featuring Irdeto Armor. Irdeto Armor provides out-of-the-box content protection, and also monitors and blocks app-based piracy and malicious apps on Android TV devices.
