Telecom Lead Europe: TiVi has deployed the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System to provide revenue security for its DVB terrestrial (DVB-T2), one-way network.
TiVi relies on VCAS for DVB to secure its linear content library and associated revenue for broadcast services over its DVB-T2 terrestrial broadcast-only network.
DVB-T2 is the world’s most advanced digital terrestrial television (DTT) system, offering more flexibility and at least 50 percent more efficiency than any other DTT system, according to the DVB Project Office.
It supports SD, HD, mobile TV, or any combination thereof. Since its publication in 1997, over 70 countries have deployed DVB-T services and 45 more have adopted it. Operators that utilize this standard benefit from massive economies of scale and very low receiver prices.
“Verimatrix offers a progressive approach to content security for DVB networks that provides us a cost-effective upgrade path for our network and our subscribers,” said Charles-Edouard Denis, founder and chief executive officer, TiVi.
VCAS for DVB is deployed by more than 100 operators around the world and has proven very resilient against piracy — to date no confirmed security breaches have been reported.
Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer, Verimatrix, said: “Our VCAS for DVB solution provides conditional access for one-way networks, thereby helping TiVi protect its existing network investments while it prepares for the future and creates a competitive advantage.”
