The Right Way for Your One-WayVCAS™ for DVB

Rising consumer expectations for access to pay-TV on an “anywhere, anytime” basis is challenging service providers to adopt content security strategies that will support the multi-screen experience customers look for.

Operators of one-way satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcast services face particular issues:

• Securingserviceswithoutthebenefitof aset-topbox(STB)returnpath.• Supportingbasictier,one-waysegments withloweraveragerevenueperuser(ARPU).• RaisingARPUbymigratingsubscribers to premium and interactive services.• Combatingrevenuelossfrompiracyin many forms.• Competingwithtriple-playoperators including IPTV.• Containingcostofcallcentersand customercarestaffing.• And,notleast,complyingwithstringent content licensing and security requirements suchas,“fingerprinting,”watermarking and regional blackouts.

VCASforDVB,poweredbythemulti- networkVCASplatform,enablesdigitalTVoperators to combine standards-based andprovenDigitalVideoBroadcast(DVB)technology for broadcast distribution with the interactivity of IP-based networks using a single security system.

TheVCASarchitectureenablesadvancedmulti-network and multi-screen services secured from a single head-end:

• One-waysatellite,cableandterrestrial broadcast networks• B2BandB2Ccontentdelivery.• HybridbroadcastandIP/OTTnetworks that enable higher ARPU with video-on- demand(VOD)andinteractivity.• Singlepointofintegrationwithsubscriber management and billing systems via OperatorManagementInterface(OMI).• Unblemishedsecurityrecord.

The solution supports operators seeking a lower total cost of ownership while achieving a favorable positioning in a world that is steadily moving towards two-way connectivity.
