Verimatrix spies opportunity for operators migrating platforms
Editor ©RapidTVNews | 24-02-2011
In a clear indication of an emerging trend, conditional access company Verimatrix has launched a programme for those considering a transition to modern and more flexible architectures.The specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-screen believes that it can offer a proven approach to helps operators navigate business and technology challenges.
The conditional access system (CAS) Migration services are designed specifically for digital TV operators that are re-evaluating or expanding their existing security platform and considering a transition to modern and more flexible architectures.
Verimatrix asserts that as operators increasingly want to take advantage of multi-screen video services, they must ensure that the appropriate security and digital rights management (DRM) solutions are in place for devices both inside and outside of the operator’s managed network.
“Operators are experiencing numerous ‘trigger points’ that provide the impetus to implement a more advanced security platform, such as an MPEG-2 to MPEG-4 transition and rolling out hybrid IP technology for hybrid network and OTT services,” said Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer.
The Verimatrix CAS Migration service is designed to guide digital TV operators in their evaluation of security system changes and the challenges faced in rolling out a system upgrade. This, says the company, is often the case when the revenue secured by a legacy CAS has been compromised due to piracy, or when an operator wants to extend services beyond traditional set-top boxes (STBs) to new platforms which the legacy system is unable to support.
More details on Verimatrix’s CAS Migration services can be found in the company’s Migration Strategy Overview.
