Morega Systems and ViXS Systems Partner to Deliver Solutions for Premium
Content Portability, Streaming and Monetization
Morega's ViGO(TM) Video-to-Go Platform on display includes high-speed
transcoding for DVR video-to-go on various portable media devices, place-
shifting, wireless TV and real-time targeted ad insertion.

CES 2008, LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ - Morega Systems Inc., a software
and systems vendor for premium content portability has partnered with ViXS
Systems Inc., the leading silicon vendor of video processing solutions, to
develop products targeted at Satellite, Cable and IPTV operators that will
allow for the monetization and portability of premium video content between
devices and across IP networks.
Morega will be demonstrating fully integrated digital video solutions at
CES 2008 that will enable service operators to offer their consumers the
ability to mobilize DVR content, including both place-shifting and video-to-go
applications. Utilizing the transcoding capabilities of ViXS' XCode(TM) 3290
System-on-a-Chip (SoC), the ViGO Portable(TM) platform will enable up to 10x
accelerated real-time transfer of premium DVR content to portable media
players and mobile phones via the USB interface of a STB/DVR. Operators and
content owners will also be able to monetize on the DVR or portable content
with real-time targeted, behavioural and contextual-based ad insertion using
ViGO Ads(TM) advanced capabilities. ViGO Live(TM), Morega's Place-shifting
solution, will allow customers to stream premium DVR content both at home and
on the road in real-time via mobile IP based devices. Morega's ViGO DRM(TM)
provides transcryption between industry standard DRM methods, ensuring
plug-and-play usability across a wide range of media platforms.
"The STB is the home's premium entertainment hub and with the increasing
popularity of DVRs and portable media players, consumers are demanding that
premium content be easily transportable and available on any device," said
Philip Poulidis, CEO of Morega. "In order to meet that demand and continually
offer innovative services among a crowded competitive landscape, service
operators, content owners and CE companies are looking for best-in-class
solutions that can protect, monetize and mobilize premium video content.
Morega's industry standards based content portability and monetization
solutions in combination with ViXS' leading transcoding silicon, will offer
the market a compelling solution."
Sally Daub, President and CEO of ViXS Systems, commented: "ViXS is pleased
to be working with Morega to offer a complete solution for this emerging
market segment. We have seen significant interest for our transcoding silicon
solution but many operators are interested in solving the premium video
portability problem, particularly for tens of millions of legacy STB/DVRs
already deployed in the market today. By integrating Morega's software on
ViXS' new transcoding SoC, operators, OEMs and CE companies are able to offer
low-cost solutions for the portability and place-shifting of premium video
content across a breadth of media platforms."
Morega's premium content portability and monetization solutions and ViXS'
leading transcoding silicon will be showcased at CES 2008, in the ViXS booth
(#36163), in South Hall 4 of the Las Vegas Convention Center. CES 2008 runs
from January 7th, 2008 to January 10th, 2008 in Las Vegas, NV.
