BERLIN, July 25, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
castLabs, a global partner in premium digital video technology,
has announced a collaboration with Portuguese cable operator NOWO
to facilitate multiscreen delivery of both live and VOD
DRM-protected content for the NOWO TV App.
Harnessing the performance and interoperability of castLabs'
multi-DRM license delivery network DRMtoday with PRESTOplay video
player SDKs, NOWO subscribers can securely stream movies and more
than 100 live TV channels across browsers, iOS and Android devices
and the ADB set-top box with the lowest playback latency.
Handling protected streams from this many channels and movie
titles requires an easily managed multi-DRM solution supporting
FairPlay Streaming by Apple, Microsoft®
PlayReady® and Google Widevine™ licensing. Further, live
content needs enhanced protection from being compromised
mid-stream. castLabs' DRMtoday provides the necessary multi-DRM
support with just a single integration, while mitigating live
content security concerns through a recurrent key rotation
mechanism.
Integration of both DRM and video player technologies within the
next-gen Nebula TV platform from Androme was crucial for NOWO. VP
Media Solutions engineered the full converged DVB-S / OTT
headend.
"Our rich and integrated ecosystem ensures the need for NOWO to
use the components it prefers-Androme Nebula, Broadpeak Origin and
CDN and AWS Elemental Live, AWS Elemental Conductor and AWS
Elemental Server-to deliver fully-featured video playback for live
streaming, VOD, or catch-up TV services," said Michael Stattmann, CEO of castLabs. "This
streamlining creates efficiencies and limits cost for NOWO while
delivering a competitive, high quality multiscreen service for NOWO
TV's Portuguese viewership."
"Wherever and however users are connecting and using the NOWO TV
app, castLabs technologies ensure a high quality secure viewing
experience with the lowest latency across any screen at any time,"
said Ana Maria Teixeira, CTO of
NOWO.
castLabs will exhibit and offer demonstrations of PRESTOplay
video player SDKs, DRMtoday, and its full range of video delivery
solutions at IBC 2017 in Amsterdam
September 15-19th. Don't delay in
booking your meeting with castLabs.
