Viaccess to show tailored TV Everywhere

Conditional access company Viaccess and its middleware subsidiary Orca Interactive will use IBC show how service providers can protect and enhance the value of content with its tailored solutions.

Viaccess will showcase a TV Everywhere suite made up of content protection, rights management, content discovery and recommendation, and companion device applications.

“As we head into 2012, operators are looking for a fully-fledged, ready-to-deploy method of delivering the true TV Everywhere experience,” said François Moreau de Saint Martin, Viaccess’s CEO. “These solutions are designed to help content service providers deliver a consistent and persistent user experience across devices, while improving the return on investment on the content acquisition, increasing overall ARPU and enhancing the overall attractiveness of the service.”

Demonstrations on the Viaccess stand will include a unified service delivery platform enabling a consistent and persistent end-user experience; a secure video player for devices such as tablets and smartphones; a multi-DRM platform to manage the complexity of content rights in a fragmented DRM technology landscape; a content discovery and recommendation platform to manage the choices of content that the end user is currently being offered; and companion device applications for Android and iOS based smartphones and tablets allowing users to manage, enhance and personalise their TV experience from a second screen.

Other demonstrations will include hybrid solutions based on the HbbTV standard and digital home networking solutions for distribution of content within the home.

Viaccess and Orca Interactive will be exhibiting at IBC on Stand 1.A51 and 2.B40 respectively
