WinTV includes 60 channels of digital television programming in a unique "catch-up" format, movies and trailers on demand, as well as special interactive services such as karaoke, music vote, games, e-learning and shopping, which are offered on set-top boxes (STBs) and secure PC screens.

"Win Multimedia's success is grounded in our ability to give our subscribers the content they want, when they want it, including sports coverage and on demand movies. We can only do this if the content owners trust Win Multimedia's ability to protect their premium content all through our distribution chain," said Jintavee Sawadisevee, Win Multimedia's chief information officer, "Verimatrix provides us with the capability to secure WinTV content at every stage including across our wireless distribution networks. VCAS for IPTV also integrates well with our partners and component vendors, which is an important consideration for protecting our investments."

Verimatrix worked closely with hardware and software partners, including content delivery platform provider DigiSoft, to roll out the content security deployment. Verimatrix's partner ecosystem, including Sun Microsystems, enabled rapid integration and smooth interoperability.
