20th Century Fox and SamsungHere is an article which further highlights the interaction between 20th Century Fox and Samsung in regards to making ultra high resolution (4K) movie content (securely) available on next generation devices (all the way from Smart TV’s down to cell phones).
In my opinion, this article highlights an industry trend that is likely related to the recent news that MStar has decided to integrate a CRI Cryptofirewall core into their Smart TV SoC’s.
Note the following comments from the article below:
Samsung Electronics has now stepped up to work with Fox’s Innovation Lab and integrate Secure Content Storage Association technology into its smart TVs and tablets, not smartphones just yet.
Since UHD movies are large files, SCSA will serve as the technology “that will liberate content for consumers, allowing them to move it easily from device to device,” Dunn said. “Consumer electronics, Hollywood studios and, most importantly, consumers will benefit when we deliver an entertainment experience that’s fit for today’s digital lifestyle.”
“Our high quality content will only be available in UHD on devices from companies like Samsung, that commit to SCSA technology,” Dunn said in announcing the expanded Samsung relationship.
^^^^^^
Even though this article says “not smartphones just yet” this Qualcomm document shows that Qualcomm has been prototyping SCSA, and Samsung is obviously a very large customer of Qualcomm.
After reading the articles above, I think it is worth re-reading the MStar press release and note the striking similarities. |
