CARLSBAD, Calif. and OTTAWA — Irdeto (JSE: NPN), the global leader in securing and delivering premium content and digital assets, today announced its technology has been selected to enable access to premium online content from the Logitech Revue™ with Google TV™. Based on the Google TV platform, Logitech Revue offers – in an integrated user interface – TV programming, the Web and Android-based apps that can deliver premium content services and enable entirely new experiences. Logitech is drawing on Irdeto’s technology to deliver premium content services through apps such as Netflix Watch Instantly.

“By Logitech selecting our Cloakware technology to safely enable apps-based premium content on the Logitech Revue companion box, Irdeto is further positioned as the ideal partner for today’s leading premium content initiatives,” said David Canellos, senior vice president, sales and marketing, Irdeto. “Because our customers’ business models require a safe and secure environment, we worked closely with Logitech to ensure that sensitive assets are protected from tampering. In the rapidly growing broadband media landscape, opening the doors for content consumption is the underlying foundation for the success of offerings like the Logitech Revue.”
