Verimatrix

Introducing the new brand for our recently acquired TV Everywhere Foundation from Akamai. nTitleMe enables content providers to provide a friction-free TV Everywhere experience. It features a single integration for secure subscriber authentication and entitlement, all based upon open standards. Furthermore, a single integration with the nTitleMe platform gives content owners access to a worldwide network of over a thousand VSOs by leveraging Verimatrix’s global install base and beyond.

Our annual year-end round up is here, and we hope you will take a moment to scroll down to see what our audiences had the biggest reactions to in 2018. Following our CEO Tom Munro's predictions from the start of the year, it comes as no surprise that content pertaining to the cloud and data analytics were heavily trafficked this year. More surprising was the volume of click-throughs to our IoT blog posts.

During my session at Streaming Media West conference, my fellow panelists and I discussed why piracy is the easiest crime in the world to commit, how the industry is failing to prevent it and the steps we can take to better enforce it.

On the heels of the Viewthority launch, we worked with Videonet to explore the issues in video distribution between content providers and video service operators – by talking to those that know best.

We are very proud to bring a new way of thinking to the video industry. Today we launched Viewthority, which we describe as a connected content distribution platform. It is essentially a new distribution model that connects content providers with video service operators via a common cloud platform in a way that has not been done before.

Lionel Bringuier PM Director – Delivery Products at AWS Elemental, and myself took some time to answer the most pressing questions submitted by attendees in regard to the agility and flexibility offered by cloud solutions.

The way pirated media content is both created and consumed has changed dramatically since the advent of IP video distribution and associated OTT services. The same infrastructure and tools that have revolutionized video distribution and enabled an explosion of content, as well as in the ways of viewing it, have also been exploited by pirates for illicit redistribution.

It is predicted that revenues lost to online piracy will nearly double between 2016 and 2022 to $51.6 billion. This is due, in part, by the redistribution of live sports and premium VoD content through illegal OTT streaming services. Fortunately, Video watermarking is the most effective solution to track illegal redistribution of high-value content and identify the source behind it.
