Tivù, the operator of the FTA satellite platform tivùsat, has extended its technology partnership with Nagra to include cardless security solutions.
The move enables Tivù to extend its premium sports lineup with DAZN sports content, and gives DAZN the opportunity to expand its service footprint across the tivùsat satellite platform.
Commenting on the development, Alberto Sigismondi, president of Tivù, said: “We’re excited to bring our end-users all of the action on the “Zona DAZN” channel from the start of the new football season. Our long-term relationship with Nagra means we’re able to bring this content to our end-users safe in the knowledge that it is secured by best-of-breed NAGRA cardless technology”.
The new cardless solution, designed to secure premium content investments, will now supplement existing Nagra smartcard solutions deployed at tivùsat.
Nancy Goldberg, executive VP and chief marketing and sales officer at Nagra, added: “Helping our customers to provide the widest possible content choice to their viewers is core to our ambition.
“We are proud to extend our security solution across the tivùsat platform to additionally protect DAZN premium sports content. The adoption of this distribution approach by an OTT operator, whose content will be distributed via satellite, further demonstrates the flexibility of Nagra solutions to support the needs of today’s media and entertainment market”.
