Paris – September 15, 2013 – LG Electronics and its US research subsidiary, Zenith Electronics LLC, joined forces with Anevia, a leader in video streaming solutions and service infrastructures for live TV and video on demand (VOD), in the development of a new embedded Pro:Idiom® Video Distribution Transcoder System integrated in the market leading Hospitality Head-end platform: Flamingo. In order to comply with international content rights legislation and specific demands articulated by content providers, Hospitality solutions have to support video encryption such that video content could be securely streamed from the video streaming solutions or the VoD server to the TV screen.

    [Enter Post Title Here] LG Corp Korean: LG ȶš) is the second largest Korean conglomerate company that produces electronics, chemicals, and telecommunications products and operates subsidiaries like LG Electronics, LG Display, LG Telecom and LG Chem in over 80 countries. LG Corp founder Koo In-Hwoi established Lak-Hui Chemical Industrial Corp. in 1947.[3] In 1952, Lak-Hui (pronounced "Lucky", currently LG Chem) became the first Korean company to enter the plastics industry. As the company expanded its plastics business, it established GoldStar Co., Ltd., (currently LG Electronics Inc.) in 1958. Goldstar produced South Korea's first radio. Many consumer electronics were sold under the brand name GoldStar, while some other household products (not available outside South Korea) were sold under the brand name of Lucky. The Lucky brand was famous for its line of hygiene products such as soaps and Hi-Ti laundry detergents, but most associated with its Lucky and Perioe toothpaste. In 1995, to better compete in the Western market, the company was renamed "LG", the abbreviation of "Lucky Goldstar". More recently, the company associates the letters LG with the company tagline "Life's Good". Since 2009, LG also owns the domain name LG.com.[4 Companies GoldStar logo, prominently used before the introduction of the LG logo Since 2001, LG has two joint ventures with Royal Philips Electronics: LG Philips Display and LG.Philips LCD, but Philips sold off its shares in late 2008.[5] Also LG has entered into a joint venture with Nortel Networks and has created LG-Nortel Co.

  • Zenith and the HDTV Challenge
    Zenith and the HDTV Challenge This case was written by Will Mitchell at the University of Michigan’s Business School. “Zenith is committed to establishing an American leadership position in high definition television,” commented the CEO,, Jerry Pearlman, in 1988. High resolution flat tension mask (FTM) color monitors, a technology in which Zenith has uncontested leadership, is a cornerstone in Zenith’s strategic thrust. Now it was February 1993, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) had just announced that more tests would be necessary before deciding on the high definition television (HDTV) standard. Japan’s analog system had already been rejected. Europe’s strategy was having a myriad of problems, the most recent being Philip’s announcement to suspend plans to mass produce TV sets compatible to the European Community’s (EC’s) preferred HDTV standard. Ironically, the United States, which abhors formalizing industrial policy, may end up with the most advanced (digital) standard. Japanese and European policy makers worried more about setting a homemade (analog) standard than about achieving a world class (digital) standard. Adopting an advanced standard and doing advanced research does not, however, guarantee significant industry participation. The success of the HDTV industry depends not only on the TV manufacturers, but also on the simultaneous adoption of the new technology by broadcasting stations, program producers and transmission companies. Zenith lost $51.6 million in 1991 and $106 million in 1992, even though operating expenses were cut by $38 million in 1990 and $59 million in 1991. At the same time the company had committed nearly it’s entire display R&D budget to FTM ($65 million over 5 years).
