Business Activities

Digital Keystone licenses its technologies to TV broadcasters, to manufacturers of consumer electronics, to developers of digital home components, and to manufacturers of integrated circuits that power consumer electronic devices and digital home components. In partnership with Microsoft and CableLabs, the company developed "OCUR", the world's first secure Pay TV bridge.[1] The first OCUR prototype, developed by Digital Keystone, was demonstrated by Bill Gates in his keynote speech during the 2006 CES.[2] During the same CES ATI Technologies demonstrated the ATI OCUR product, manufactured under license.[3] In 2007 Michael Dell announced the commercial launch of the product during his CES keynote.[4]

In September 2008 Digital Keystone announced a licensing agreement with Thomson SA that allows the consumer electronics manufacturer to include Digital Keystone's PODware solution in its tru2way set-top-boxes.[5]

In addition to consumer electronic software components, Digital Keystone, Inc. develops industry-dstandard test tools that are used to validate content security interoperability for major Pay TV systems worldwide. These tools verify compliance with published content security standards such as OpenCable and Cablecard.[6] As an example CableLabs utilizes Digital Keystone tools to qualify M-Card devices.[7] Digital Keystone tools such as HPNX PRO have been utilized to certify digital televisions, personal video recorders, and set-top-boxes.[8]

As of June 2010, according to the National Cable & Telecommunications Association ("NCTA"), Digital Keystone customers have shipped over 21 million certified consumer electronic devices.[9]
