Mon, November 17, 2008 BigBand Networks, Inc. : BigBand Teams With Verimatrix on Secure Ad Insertion
REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - November 17, 2008) - BigBand Networks, Inc. (
BigBand's MSP2000 is designed to eliminate the expense and operational complexity involved in de-crypting and re-encrypting content for ad insertion by enabling ad insertion into encrypted streams. This supports scalable network-based ad insertion without changes to set-top boxes or other customer premises equipment. Additionally, the BigBand MSP provides the flexibility to locate the splicing nearer to the edge of the operator's network for even greater ad targeting without compromising programming security. BigBand has expanded its integrations with tier one content encryption companies to support greater interoperability on behalf of service providers for targeted advertising and other personalized services. The successful integration with the Verimatrix VCAS supports end-to-end security for IPTV and pay-TV services essential to the delivery of personalized video services.
"We're pleased to work with BigBand to expand the applications of VCAS content protection and to enable new business approaches in secure content delivery," said Steve Oetegenn, chief sales and marketing officer, Verimatrix. "Now more than ever, the move to personalized TV and content delivery over multiple devices in a secure environment requires smart and flexible technology that protects valuable content and makes encryption seamless to the consumer."
"Content protection is a vital part of the service provider ecosystem," said John Reister, BigBand's chief IPTV architect. "In partnership with Verimatrix, we can now produce MPEG-compliant content streams including seamless ad insertions. As a result, our network-based MSP2000 platform makes it easier and more cost-effective for service providers to achieve ad revenue goals with their existing architectures and customer premises equipment."
The BigBand MSP2000 gives service providers the ability to offer TV advertising with greater scale, affordability and higher performance than traditional approaches. BigBand's MSP2000 incorporates robust ad insertion capabilities that support flexible advertising models, from national to regional to zoned to fully targeted.
