Securing IPTV to the Broadband PC
ViewRight PC Player is a key option within the Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS™). It turns any broadband connected PC into
a fully functional, interactive IPTV client. ViewRight PC Player securely decrypts broadcast and video-on-demand (VOD) content within VCASprotected
IPTV systems using a flexible, “lean forward” user interface that includes program guide information for current broadcast channels
and available VOD content.
ViewRight PC Player provides the same level of content security and revenue protection as dedicated set-top box (STB) equipment while offering
operators and consumers more viewing choices. In fully leveraging the networked home environment, 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 recorder (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.
