WHAT:
Product Focus:
VCAS™ for DVB
-- Verimatrix's latest offering is a new breed of DVB hybrid content
security. Network 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 satellite, cable and terrestrial 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 the booth 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
IPTV -- Verimatrix's flagship solution has recently renewed its
position as the global number one IPTV content security solution,
reinforcing the key role content protection plays in enabling creative new
revenue streams. Falcon Communications will be demonstrating how it has
leveraged VCAS for IPTV for commercially successful IPTV wholesale service
delivery at Verimatrix's booth.
3-Screen Security -- ViewRight® PC
Player, ViewRight®
STB, and ViewRight® Mobile will be featured for Verimatrix's
continued commitment to enabling multi-screen pay-TV delivery options
including PC, Mac and mobile devices.
Presentations:
MPEGIF Master Class -- "The Standards Based Ecosystem." Steve Christian, VP
of Marketing, will participate on an Open IPTV Forum panel to discuss how
IP-based technology factors into pay-TV operators' service goals and
business models. He will also debate the merits of an open and end-to-end
specification for a universal IPTV standard.
WHEN: Sunday, Apr. 19 at 4:15 p.m.
Telecom 2009 Conference -- "A New Concept for Robust Video Marking." Niels
Thorwirth, director of Media Security, will present his paper outlining the

readable and forensic marks that make premium content more secure and
establish strong evidence linking the content to a consumer while
maintaining privacy.
WHEN: Wednesday, Apr. 22 at 3:10 p.m.
Broadcast Engineering Conference -- "Watermarking - What Approach Will
Hollywood Adopt?" Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer, will

trials that are being undertaken.
