On Command Endorses Pro:Idiom DRM for Content Security

Leading In-Room Entertainment Company Is Among First to Sign Agreement and Adopt Zenith Technology

DENVER, Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- On Command Video Corporation, a leading provider of in-room interactive entertainment for the hotel industry and its guests, announced today that it has reached agreement with Zenith Electronics Corporation for the licensing of Pro:Idiom(TM) digital rights management (DRM) content security.

"Content security is something that On Command takes very seriously," said Tad Walden, senior vice president of marketing and programming for On Command. "With HD content beginning to make a presence in the hotel rooms it is important that we offer viable content security solutions to Hollywood. On Command supports open technologies and is in the forefront of delivering HD content to our hotel partners."

On Command is currently delivering and supporting high definition movies on demand in select hotel rooms throughout the U.S. As more and more hotels adopt flat panel televisions for in-room use, the company feels HD movies could increase buy rates and create a win for hotels, Hollywood studios and in-room service providers.

On Command currently delivers more than 390 titles to the hotel industry, making it the largest provider of in-room movies to the hotel industry.
