News Release
Systems and Software developer to use Cinea Secure™ anti-piracy solutions to enable an end-to-end secure content management solution for IFE
September 9, 2003 (Seattle, WA) Innovative Media Solutions (IMS) and Cinea announced today that “Cinea Security Compliance”™ will be a key feature of IMS’ family of content management solutions for the in-flight entertainment market. This agreement represents an important milestone in moving the IFE market infrastructure to support an end-to-end secure system. Such a system is an essential component for enabling next generation IFE content management systems. The IMS solution is particularly significant because it is compatible with the digital video equipment on board planes today as well as the next generation products being developed by IFE equipment manufacturers.
Under this agreement, Cinea will provide technology to IMS that includes a hardware and software based security manager that IMS will use in its Terminal Data Loader (TDL). TDL is a content loading product offered to airlines that emphasizes the use of removable media rather than removable hard drives in content delivery and loading.
“Cinea security technology is well-known and well-respected in the content community, and its adoption in our IFE Content Management tool set helps to ensure maximum security in the IFE supply chain,” says Joe Renton, CEO of IMS.
“By adding Cinea Security Compliance, IMS’ TDL will be the first product to extend a consistent security solution all the way from the Studio, through the content integration stage, and to the content loading stage of the IFE value chain” says John Nelson, Director of Marketing and Business Development for Cinea. “Cinea Security Compliance insures end-to-end security interoperability from one vendor’s solution to another.”
