MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA and SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 24, 2013) - Frost & Sullivan, the Growth Partnership company, today announced the availability of a new white paper, titled "Cardless Content Security: The Smarter Choice for Hybrid Networks." In the paper, Avni Rambhia, industry manager, Digital Media, and Mukul Krishna, global director, Digital Media, explore the security challenges operators face as they embrace multi-network architectures to implement next-generation TV Everywhere content services. The paper also provides best practices in planning security architectures for ubiquitous video solutions.
The Internet has irreversibly changed where, when, and how viewers want to experience their content. As such, the pay-TV industry is transforming itself to keep pace with this evolution. In the paper, the authors provide telcos, MSOs and satellite service providers with a deeper understanding of the technological advances that bring streamlined, scalable, multi-network deployments within reach of pay-TV operators. They also address why cardless conditional access (CA) solutions are particularly well-positioned to provide secure yet cost-efficient security for today's and tomorrow's content protection needs. Topics discussed include:
- The challenges of extending a branded, compelling pay-TV experience to every subscriber on every device and screen in a revenue-enhancing manner
- How the power of the Internet can be harnessed to facilitate content security and safeguard revenue
- Why content security solutions are moving away from managing silos for digital rights management (DRM), CA systems and watermarking to a complete revenue security platform
The white paper, sponsored by Verimatrix, the specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-screen digital TV services around the globe, also explores how a major European MSO implemented an IP-based, two-way network alongside its traditional DVB network to offer subscribers advanced, value-added services like video on demand (VoD) and catch-up TV. The case study underscores how implementing a scalable and extensible content security solution over multi-network architectures can help operators extend their services to every target device quickly and economically.
"Delivering a sticky, compelling, ubiquitous video service can be very challenging for operators, especially when you consider that network complexity should be transparent to the user; a service must simply work anytime, anywhere and on any device," said Rambhia. "Fortunately, vendors like Verimatrix help alleviate the burden of these challenges by creating optimally architected solutions to meet the present and emerging needs pay-TV service provides while also enhancing the subscriber's quality of experience."
