DRM and Conditional Access

Applications of Conditional Access in Cable, Telco and Satellite Markets



Digitization of content and the birth of new distribution business models have broadened the horizon for all sectors of the entertainment business. From content creation to delivery, vendors across the digital media value chain are reaping the benefits of this market evolution. New video formats and content distribution methodologies have created opportunities for vendors, but have also exposed premium content to the risk of electronic theft. The growing convergence of devices, and the variety of technology formats has allowed consumers to access content at a time and place and via a device of their choice. Expanding the boundaries and enhancing the reach of their services to the consumer, content distributors and service providers also expose premium content to piracy and the risk of being mishandled, creating the need for solutions that provide content and service protection. This study examines the role of conditional access technology in the pay TV market. It also covers factors driving and restraining the growth of the market. The report discusses the available solutions as applicable to cable, telco and satellite, and profiles the vendors offering those solutions. Pricing trends and market forecasts, which include forecasts by region and market segment, are also included.
