Vuclip and Verimatrix partner
March 9, 2015
Vuclip, the mobile VoD service for emerging markets, has formed a partnership with Verimatrix, a specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-network, multi-screen video services around, to power a new tier of secure premium VoD services to emerging markets. The partnership and collaboration between these two market leaders is the first of its kind to configure, integrate and deploy a secure premium VoD service tailored to the unique characteristics of emerging markets.
For consumers in emerging markets, mobile is the primary screen and there is a huge demand for premium mobile videos. These viewers tend to watch their favourite movies, music and TV shows repetitively, and they must contend with congested and high-variability networks. While these consumers tend to prefer low-cost smart phones, they appreciate high-quality content and the ability to watch in an offline sync mode. The partnership between Vuclip and Verimatrix meets these challenges and the demands of millions of subscribers while providing ironclad security for the premium content of top studios.
To achieve this robust revenue security, Vuclip has integrated the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS) platform with its Vuclip Prime subscription mobile VOoD service. Deployed to support a subscription-based model, VCAS provides a complete digital video security solution for OTT services over networks implementing HTTP Live Streaming (HLS). Featuring multi-format support, VCAS for video secures OTT services to multiple screens and across multiple network types.
The integrated solution will be rolled out to India, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. “We take great pride in delivering a compelling premium video on demand experience for consumers in emerging markets. Equally, we are driven to invent and invest in technologies to provide superior value to our partner ecosystem. Verimatrix is a global leader in multi-network, multi-screen revenue security technologies and we are very pleased with the way both of our teams have come together to create a unique solution for emerging markets,” commented Arun Prakash.
