Verimatrix announces that WIST has deployed the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System for IPTV to secure its comprehensive lineup of services for the Rzeszow region. Working with partner VECTOR, VCAS for IPTV secures content for 80 MPEG-2/MPEG-4 channels, VOD and network personal video recorder services.

WIST is delivering IPTV services to subscribers via its ADSL2+ network and is using BeeSMART middleware, customized by VECTOR, and the 1910 series of set-top boxes from Motorola. WIST selected VCAS for IPTV based on Verimatrix's successful track record and strong endorsement from VECTOR.

VCAS for IPTV leverages the two-way IP infrastructure in WIST's network by providing a more sophisticated level of content security than traditional smart card-based systems. Cryptographic and e-commerce technologies proven in Internet banking, enable VCAS to secure content and enhance revenue streams, while successfully combating digital piracy and unauthorized access wherever it may occur within the distribution chain.
