Macrovision Acquires STB Software Maker Mediabolic

by

It’s a mashup between digital rights management (DRM) and software for set-top boxes. Macrovision said that it had acquired Mediabolic for $43.5 million.

Mediabolic makes software for devices like TVs, and digital video recorders.

As the battle for digital media dominance races into the living room, Macrovision gets a great introduction into software. Macrovision can expand its reach into software and widen its content protection plans so that DRM is firmly locked into the set-top box software.

Mediabolic is based in San Mateo, California.
