Company Recognized for New Capabilities of Vtegrity and Verspective Intelligence in Addition to Collaborating to Bring TV Everywhere to Africa
Verimatrix, a specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for network-connected devices and services, has been shortlisted for this year’s IBC Innovation Awards and named a two-time finalist for the CSI Awards, both to be presented at IBC 2018.
Alongside Econet Media, AWS Elemental and Roku, Verimatrix is being recognized by the IBC Innovation Awards for bringing TV Everywhere services to Africa. When Econet Media acquired an exclusive partnership to distribute Netflix over Roku players in Africa, Verimatrix and AWS Elemental implemented adaptive bit rate (ABR) streaming plus content security for all types of OTT devices, using a single HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) format and a unique DRM. The end result provided Econet with a single, coherent solution that combines the content security management, encryption, and encoding processes – earning the collaborators a place on the shortlist for the awards’ “Content Distribution” category.
