Securing IPTV to the Broadband PC
The Verimatrix ViewRight PC Player turns any broadband connected PC into a fully functional, interactive IPTV client. The ViewRight PC Player securely decrypts broadcast and VOD content within VCAS protected IPTV systems using a flexible, "lean forward" user interface that includes program guide information for current broadcast channels and available VOD content. The ViewRight PC Player is an integrated component of VCAS secured pay-TV deployments that provides the same level of content security and revenue protection as dedicated set-top box (STB) equipment and offers operators and consumers more viewing choices. In fully leveraging the networked home environment, the ViewRight PC Player extends the competitive advantage of IPTV services over legacy alternatives.
Integrated DVR Features
ViewRight PC Player incorporates a seamless approach for Digital Video Recording (DVR) functionality within pay-TV deployments, using local hard disk storage or a network DVR (nDVR) approach within the pay-TV head-end. ViewRight DVR functions do not compromise the security perimeter of the pay-TV system since VCAS is architected to directly enable recording and replay of broadcast streams without translation or re-encryption. By leverage of key management in the VCAS Content Security Manager, DVR and nDVR functions are supported in a flexible and cost effective manner. VCAS and ViewRight PC Player enable implementation of any possible business rule and content management scheme while satisfying all concerns about vulnerability of DVR files to decryption and redistribution.
Forensic Watermarking
ViewRight PC Player incorporates VideoMark™ - the industry's first secure and invisible content tracking solution that enables forensic, user-specific marking of video at each PC or STB client in a pay-TV system. The VideoMark payload is robust against a wide range of video content manipulations, with recovery of the unique client identification possible from all unauthorized analog and digital distribution formats.
