Selevision taps Verimatrix for hybrid TV offering

Content security provider Verimatrix has been chosen by Saudi Arabia-based service provider and technology provider Selevision to provide technology to protect security on its new Seevii hybrid IPTV and OTT entertainment service. 

Seevii offers 200 channels in HD and SD in addition to restart TV, catch-up TV, and EPG and video-on-demand services. The service is delivered via different HEVC-based set-top boxes, iOS and Android smartphones and tablets in addition to a web portal.

Verimatrix is providing its VCAS for broadcast-hybrid product to protect revenue security for Seevii.

“When Selevision first planned this new service, choosing the right revenue security solution was of paramount importance,” said Ammar Al Hares, COO, Selevision Dubai. “We selected VCAS for Broadcast-Hybrid because of its proven ability to provide robust protection for premium content library, as well as its ability to scale to protect future services.”

Steve Oetegenn, president, Verimatrix, said: “Selevision is clearly committed to providing its users with the access to the content and services they demand. We are delighted to play such a critical role in this exciting deployment. Together we have created a robust, yet flexible revenue security framework to serve as the foundation of its new service, while also providing them the scalability to add new services in the future.”
