TelstraClear, a New Zealand-based subsidiary of Australian telecommunications company, Telstra, that offers triple-play services in Wellington, Christchurch and Kapiti, said Monday that it has tapped Irish IPTV technology provider, Digisoft.tv, and US content protection specialist, Verimatrix, to jointly develop a hybrid HD DVB-C set-top box with PVR capabilities and support for IPTV that it will offer to its cable customers. The box is intended to compete against the TiVo-based platform that rival operator, Telecom New Zealand is planning to launch later this year.
Studio-backed, subscription-free, "over-the-top" on-demand TV service, ZillionTV, said Monday that it has deployed Verimatrix's Video Content Authority System (VCAS) for IPTV to enable secure delivery of its on-demand programming offerings over the Internet. Verimatrix bills the software-based VCAS technology as providing the encryption needed to protect content from widespread piracy and enable a wide choice of consumer viewing options.
