At Cable-Tec Expo, NAGRA is showcasing a broadcast-to-IP gateway, the NAGRA HomeCruise microGateway. The box utilizes NAGRA content protection and is powered by NAGRA's OpenTV middleware. It acts as an independent content access point that tunes to subscribed services and transcodes to the proper format without disrupting household viewing. It's designed for easy install and use.Connected through Ethernet to a WiFi router, the box receives an incoming broadcast signal through a coax cable. It utilizes NAGRA's studio-certified in-home DRM solution, NAGRA Persistent Rights Management (PRM), to enable secure wireless streaming of linear programming to authorized viewing devices within the home such as tablets, smartphones and PCs. It also uses the NAGRA Media Player for open devices.It supports a variety of devices and has been pre-integrated with PCs, laptops and iOS devices, with subsequent integration planned for IP set-top boxes, smart TVs and Android devices.
