Amlogic Partners with Verimatrix to Offer Advanced Security Chipsets for Multi-screen Video Delivery

Amlogic, a leading fabless semiconductor company providing solutions for advanced consumer products, and Verimatrix, the specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-network, multi-screen digital TV services around the globe, today announced that Amlogic's quad-core M8 series, S805 and S812, system-on-chip (SoC) has been certified compliant with Verimatrix Advanced Security.

The Amlogic SoC makes it very easy for Smart TVs, OTT/IP set-top boxes (STBs), and other multimedia consumer devices to access a secure video distribution solution. Having the Amlogic SoCs available for rapid integration with Verimatrix ViewRight security provides global digital TV operators with the ultimate freedom of choice when selecting STBs that minimize costs, without sacrificing the ability to meet evolving service requirements in the long term.

Cardless security for today's progressive operators utilizes a sophisticated SoC with embedded security features that enables a robust and renewable pay-TV security architecture. The security module is software-based, yet sensitive keys and content decryption reside in a highly secure environment that resists attacks from tools traditionally used by smartcard pirates. Additionally, the renewability of cardless security provides a distinct advantage in times of fast-changing threats and business opportunities. Software-based security, in combination with state-of-the-art, secure SoC technology, also offers lower CAPEX and OPEX costs for a more favorable total cost of ownership.

The collaboration with Amlogic on our Advanced Security certification ultimately enables operators to escape traditional conditional access, single-network limitations without compromising security or adding complexity to the consumer experience, said Petr Peterka, CTO at Verimatrix. Our cardless solutions offer a security level that is essential to new multi-network service models, which would be impossible to achieve with legacy systems. We are pleased to be working with Amlogic to power next-generation video services around the globe.

Having Amlogic SoCs supported by the latest Verimatrix Advanced Security benefits our customers with optimal revenue protection. said James Xie, vice president, corporate business strategy at Amlogic. With this Advanced Security certification, we are able to provide broadcast, hybrid and IPTV content delivery platforms that address worldwide business opportunities.
