2009-01-13 17:17:00 -

Prodea Systems has announced the latest of its partnerships with Canadian-based Morega Systems, bringing simple mobile access to Prodea Systems' ground-breaking Digital Life Command CenterTM platform. Core to the platform's strength and differentiation, is its ability to deliver a variety of services to the well-advertised 3-screen ecosystem (TV, PC and mobile platform) with Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees and a service management infrastructure that provides the operator true transparency into the digital home environment.


"Prodea Systems has developed a platform which allows both the operator and the consumer to benefit from a well-thought out architecture, enabling a variety of services. As we evaluated Prodea's unique platform offering, it was clear to us that our media distribution technology was a perfect complement to their core focus," said Philip Poulidis, CEO of Morega Systems. "Because much of the consumer's personal media is inaccessible away from the home, we developed a unique way to seamlessly personalize and reformat the content for distribution to other consumer domains. The Prodea Systems Digital Life Command Center leverages our technology to deliver a variety of multi-media experiences to mobile devices within the digital home ecosystem."


Prodea Systems' platform was designed with the understanding that consumers desire a quality experience accessing their digital assets from anywhere and any device. Morega Systems' technology provides a mechanism, to seamlessly convert both personal and commercial rich multi-media into a variety of formats for reception and consumption by devices such as personal media players (PMPs) and smartphones. The conversion comprehends the class of DRM that the content supports, as well as understanding the native resolution and bandwidth available to the mobile device requesting access. In this way, the viewing experience is maximized for the consumer.


Historically, such a capability has at best, been managed through pre-conversion of content or using a "one size fits all' approach as it relates to content preparation. Prodea and Morega have teamed together to bring a managed approach to the remote distribution of high-value content. The integrated approach of Prodea Systems' Digital Life Command Center, brings new partner capabilities such as what Morega Systems offers, to the consumer and allows different multi-media experiences to be rendered to a variety of devices and domains, all with seamless integration and a consistent user interface.


"We believe the unique capabilities that Morega offers as it relates to media content portability and real-time re-formatting is a perfect complement to our service delivery platform," said Andy Melder, vice president of marketing for Prodea Systems. "The increase in consumer demand for digital media on any device, anywhere, calls for a more personalized, seamless and ubiquitous experience across a wide range of devices for both on-line and off-line viewing."
