This European and Hollywood Studio approved solution enables video operators to license and acquire premium content for delivery across any network, including hybrid IP networks.


• Digital Copy Protection: Widevine’s post-decryption digital copy protection solution adds a necessary additional layer of security on PC-based consumer devices. Widevine will demonstrate how it protects content from being pirated by hundreds of tools available on the internet. Designed to monitor, detect and respond to piracy after content has been decrypted, Widevine prevents digital media piracy, thereby retaining copyrights, ad-based revenues and other pay media business models.
