The Internet has fundamentally disrupted TV forever. Today, consumers want to watch TV on all devices and platforms. TV service providers who depend on reliable and cost-effective digital rights management (DRM) technology for broadband have had to use expensive, rigid Conditional Access (CA) systems for broadcast, are itching for a convergence. ExpressPlay XCA is the solution.
ExpressPlay XCA is a revolutionary card-less content management solution for broadcasters with support for both DVB broadcast-only devices and broadband or hybrid devices. It seamlessly bridges between the Conditional Access and DRM worlds.
ExpressPlay XCA uses the same content protection engine as the ExpressPlay Marlin DRM system, enabling operators to service both broadband and broadcast devices with the same content protection software. Our use of open standards technology means that our solution is both flexible, and future proof and frees customers of proprietary products.
ExpressPlay XCA goes way beyond protecting your revenue and reputation. Our solution presents tremendous cost savings for operators by limiting the dependency on expensive CA modules and onerous business terms. Moreover, the same solution can be used by operators to protect both broadcast TV, IPTV platforms, and OTT applications, avoiding the duplication of services.
ExpressPlay XCA offers uncompromising security by relying on standard technology such as AES and RSA ciphers.
With modern on-chip hardware security functions (such as TEE and SVP), and the option to pre-integrate with Root of Trust and watermarking for additional security, our CA offers the same if not a higher level of security than your traditional overbuilt CA system.
