"ADB is recognised as a leading specialist in the integration of encryption methods for digital television and the foundation of the company has been in the PayTV domain. Up to now the issue of securing ownership rights has meant that content availability and associated services for the end-user have not been exploited to a maximum of its capabilities. Thanks to the SVP Alliance, consumers will be able to benefit from much richer content while the rights of the content owners will be well protected against piracy. Incorporating SVP technology into ADB's products is a natural solution for a company that has always been focused on serving the content and broadcast industry aswell as the consumers."
