Overview:
Content security is one of the many requirements that pay-TV operators have to meet in order to license content from studios, TV networks, and other sources. Life for operators used to be simple: adopt a conditional access (CA) technology that protects operators’ signals as well as copyright owners’ content.
But nowadays operators are under increasing pressure to distribute content onto a variety of devices, not just over their own proprietary channels, but also over unmanaged networks like the Internet and wireless. Operators need to understand content security requirements for these new types of services and how they can harmonize rights management across networks. In this webinar, you will learn about:

• How release windows, quality levels and usage rules factor in licensing deals for multi-screen delivery
• Availability of the latest security techniques across the entire delivery chain
• Current protection policies from content owners that are linked to release windows, new business models, distribution models and client platforms

This webinar will provide a deeper understanding of strategies that protect operators’ revenue streams, while meeting content owners' licensing requirements, and where these technologies are headed in the future.
