WHO:

Verimatrix enhances the value and security of pay-TV networks with advanced technologies designed to address the content protection challenges of today, and those of tomorrow.

Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer, will be available for press and analyst interviews.

WHAT:

Product Focus:

VCAS™ for DVB -- Verimatrix's latest offering is a new breed of DVB hybrid content security. DVB-C operators are able to combine DVB broadcast technology with interactive IP service delivery using a single robust content security architecture. VCAS for DVB provides a much needed choice of client security technologies in cable broadcast networks where no direct return path is available -- all from a single head-end. The solution provides a lower total cost of ownership, while fully supporting subscriber upgrades in a market that is steadily moving towards two-way connectivity. Stop by booth #K17 to receive a copy of Verimatrix's latest whitepaper on Securing DVB Hybrid Networks: Enabling New Business Models for Higher Value Pay-TV Services.

VCAS™ for Cable IPTV -- Offers cable operators a secure, cost-effective solution to deliver next generation IPTV services over an existing cable plant. By integrating advanced third-party CMTS bypass technology with robust VCAS software-based content security, the solution converts an existing cable system to an asymmetric IP network perfectly suited for IPTV. Multicast and unicast streams are delivered to off-the-shelf IP set-top boxes and PCs via low-cost cable modems.

Presentations:

"Managing Usage Rights in a Multi-DRM World." Along with his industry colleagues, Oetegenn will present the requirements of a common security platform for all devices and networks from a single head-end. Pay-TV operators are looking to content security suppliers to solve the "transparency problem" that has bedeviled the music industry in its transition to an online marketplace. He will address issues such as harmonizing license rights and entitlements across multiple DRM schemes and the architecture required to enable transparent consumption on different CE devices.
