Verimatrix has given details of its new Ultra HD security certification, Viewright.
It’s based on MovieLabs’ Specifications for Next Generation Video and Enhanced Content Protection. Already chipset developers including Broadcom, Marvel, MStar and HiSilicon, have introduced designs that fully meet UHD security requirements.
“MovieLabs’ specifications have set the bar for distributing premium content at UHD quality very high, with stringent requirements needed for studio approval. Ultra Security gives operators confidence that leading vendors of UHD-capable chipsets are adhering to guidelines that have been developed in response to studios’ priorities,” said Petr Peterka, CTO at Verimatrix. “Ultra Security certification for client devices uniquely ensures a balanced, integrated approach to software and hardware subsystems that provides a formidable barrier to piracy in a form that can be updated as threat models evolve.”
Ultra Security uses three familiar methods; hardware-based security, trusted software security, and forensic watermarking. Ultra Security also extends the certification Verimatrix has developed in partnership with Dutch security test lab Riscure to help pay-TV operators determine the UHD-readiness of their chipsets by validating the security of the technology within their consumer equipment.
