The Verimatrix Video Content Authority System (VCAS) for Broadcast Hybrid will manage secure video delivery over Megacable’s broadcast, multicast and over-the-top (OTT) networks to single-network and hybrid receivers, plus a wide range of mobile devices.
This deal extends the initial agreement between Mexico’s cableco and Verimatrix to secure revenue for the operator’s fibre-based IPTV pilot service, which is delivered to nearly 15,000 homes in the city of Guanajuato.
“Verimatrix has acted as trusted consultant and advisor for Megacable throughout our hybrid transition, and its VCAS architecture provides the security infrastructure, tools and support we need to transform our services across the entirety of our geographically disperse network,” said Emerson Sampaio, CTO, Megacable.
VCAS for Broadcast Hybrid is replacing Megacable’s previous security application through a “cap and grow” implementation strategy, allowing the operator to use the new security system wherever the new services are introduced.
“The highly configurable VCAS architecture combines a number of network-specific security solutions built on a common platform, equipping Megacable with the agility it needs to roll out its anticipated IPTV and OTT video delivery services,” added Steve Oetegenn, president of Verimatrix.
