Verimatrix maximises Aire TVE security
February 27, 2019
Connected services revenue and security enhancement specialist Verimatrix has confirmed that Spanish quadplay operator Aire Networks has extended its investment in its Video Content Authority System (VCAS) framework to maximise security for the TV Everywhere streaming offered by its Perseo TV premium OTT services.
VideoMark, Verimatrix’s client-side watermarking solution for live and on-demand video services, now plays a critical role in protecting the revenue of valuable VoD content, including live sports now offered by Perseo TV.
Aire Networks’ existing VCAS framework was initially deployed to enable uninterrupted multiscreen viewing experiences for live and VoD content with cross-platform device support. The framework was deployed with long-term plans for VideoMark integration, providing a strong, scalable security foundation for Perseo TV to become globally available to a potential audience of 4.5 million subscribers and eventually launch live sports.
“We continue to invest in Verimatrix because of its proven ability to scale with the evolving security needs of our expanding Perseo TV service, topped off with first-class technical support,” commented Aire Networks’ Manuel Monserrate. “The addition of live sports streaming has introduced new challenges – from complex content owner requirements, to subscription management and, eventually, the ceaseless fight against illegal redistribution. However, our newly bolstered VCAS framework does the heavy lifting for us – all while providing the highest level of threat protection.”
“The launch of live sports is another huge milestone for Aire Networks that Verimatrix is proud to help support. When the VCAS infrastructure was first implemented, we set the foundation to be easily adaptable for Perseo TV service offerings as they continue to grow and take new shape; that was exactly the case with deploying VideoMark,” said Verimatrix President Steve Oetegenn. “Verimatrix was the first to market the practical application of forensic video watermarking to protect live sports and premium VOD content, and having the progressive Aire Networks select VideoMark for both validates that our sophisticated technology continues to stay at the forefront of the industry.”
