Verimatrix (Hall 4, A55) will demonstrate key features of its next generation Video Content Authority System (VCAS) Ultra architecture at this year’s IBC.
The marketplace has established that cardless security solutions based on software and IP technologies represent the new state-of-the-art for pay-TV operator deployments. VCAS Ultra allows pay-TV operators to take full advantage of this development, while preparing for new UHD/4K premium service delivery.
VCAS Ultra offers enhanced content security profiles to meet MovieLabs UHD service requirements; flexible, physical or virtual configurations to support cloud system integrations; streaming format evolution with harmonized support for HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) and MPEG-DASH; and an enhanced architecture for monitoring, operational and subscriber intelligence to enable actionable analytics.
VCAS Ultra also features support for new distribution models and integration options.
According to Petr Peterka, CTO, Verimatrix, “The introduction of UHD services, combined with more pervasive IP and hybrid network services, will push operators to re-think their security strategy in order to optimise revenue security while reducing operational costs.
“A harmonised revenue security architecture, such as VCAS Ultra, enables the deployment of a transparent security regime across all the network and device types that subscribers demand. With the rise of the software-empowered video operator, a single content security authority plays a vital role in the transition towards hybrid networks and multi-screen services by supporting multi-layered protection and transparent usage rights.”
