As one of only two digital rights management (DRM) systems now approved by DirecTV and other satellite content providers, VidOvation TV is designed for TV stations, studios and media facilities to deploy their own internal channels. The solution delivers digital television programming directly to employees' smartphones, tablets, desktop players, and smart TVs, and it allows scheduled recording and on-demand time-shift viewing.

With support for live TV content such as DirecTV, broadcast or media facilities can use VidOvation TV in a range of applications. For instance, a sports league can watch and archive live broadcasts for game analysis, a media studio can manage its content and view its own live broadcasts for quality control, and news or financial institutions can watch markets and competing stations to stay competitive.

“IPTV video delivery offers a cost-effective, flexible and highly interactive over-the-top alternative to traditional terrestrial, satellite and cable TV formats," said Jim Jachetta, executive vice president and CTO, VidOvation. “These traditional approaches have many shortcomings for enterprise or corporate deployments, such as an inability to distribute to multiple end-user platforms, a lack of open architecture and a lack of support for DRM.”
