Verimatrix - Problem or Solution

Today, the majority with the word torrent work association with the problem of copyright. The same thing happens with peering broadcasting , with the increasing development of IPTV , and right holders are very concerned about the protection of the rights to their content. A recent incident with one of the Tomsk broadcasters has led to reflect on the importance of content that is safe for copyright holders. The Tomsk broadcaster, which is gaining popularity, was banned from broadcasting about 85 channels, since the channels were not encoded in accordance with Verimatrix technology, which protects from copying content and its translation by other broadcasters. And we, as a company providing IPTV services, are extremely interested in this topic. I would like to dwell on Verimatrix in more detail.



Verimatrix is ​​a recognized leader in content security solutions for digital television service providers. The company uses its innovative three-dimensional security approach to provide a consistent rights platform for delivering multimedia content to various devices. And in general, the company has established itself as the number one in the world in terms of security revenue of the broadcast video. Today, most rights holders agree to broadcast only if the content is encoded according to Verimatrix. A big plus for the company and additional “strains” for broadcasters. If the operator today enters the market with "Verimatrix", then he is already quite a weighty competitor. Paying for Verimatrix licenses, operators make a profit from, as they say, legal business, and this is a plus to the reputation of the operator.
