WHAT: Technology Demonstrations: VCAS Secures the World of Wholesale/Retail IPTV Distribution VCAS for IPTV provides a content security solution that supports the full spectrum of the emerging IPTV wholesale/retail business over satellite, fiber and other distribution network architectures. Come see why Avail Media, Falcon Communications and other IPTV wholesalers have chosen VCAS for their end-to-end content security solution. Key components of the solution include: -- Verimatrix Remote Stream Manager that supports tiered distribution of encrypted content and rights management keys -- Verimatrix Retailer Entitlement Manager enables secured stream by stream entitlement control across networks. -- Verimatrix MultiCAS/IP server that integrates operation of VCAS with high-performance stream multiplexer/scrambler equipment from Adtec, TANDBERG, Thomson, Scientific Atlanta and others. VCAS Enables Cable IPTV Today Verimatrix's latest content security solution, VCAS for Cable IPTV, offers cable operators a rapid response to accelerating demands for HD and on-demand services, while dramatically reducing the cost of advanced set-top box deployment. Developed in conjunction with GoBackTV, Inc., VCAS for Cable IPTV enables IP-based content delivery over existing cable infrastructure, which is recognized as the key solution for reclaiming bandwidth and broadening service offerings on limited capacity cable plants. The integrated solution provides a secure, cost-effective way to deliver these next generation video services - and reap the benefits right now. VCAS for Cable IPTV leverages the unique GoBackTV "CMTS Bypass" solution, which converts an existing cable system to an asymmetric IP network perfectly suited for IPTV services. The VCAS software-based content protection approach, integrated with advanced IP STB and PC client devices, provides a superior security solution. Another major benefit is that VCAS for Cable IPTV fulfills the U.S. FCC's separable security mandate. VCAS Layered Security Combines Encryption and Forensic Watermarking Verimatrix extends the pay-TV network security perimeter through VideoMark(TM), user-specific, forensic watermarking technology by enabling pirated content to be tracked back to its last legal recipient. VideoMark extends the protection provided by VCAS across the so-called "analog hole" and provides a more trusted secure distribution platform, far better suited to deter piracy than competing digital or analog techniques.
