VCAS Ultra and VCAS for Broadcast-Hybrid Both Achieve Finalist Status in Leading Industry AwardsSan Diego, Nov. 7, 2014 -Verimatrix, the specialist in securing and enhancing revenue for multi-network, multi-screen digital TV services around the globe, today announced that its Video Content Authority System (VCAS ) has been shortlisted for two prominent industry awards - the Fierce Innovation Awards and the Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards. The two shortlisted solutions both leverage the strengths of the field-proven and award winning VCAS multi-network content and revenue security solution for IP, broadcast, and hybrid networks.

VCAS Ultra is a finalist in the Conditional Access (CA), Digital Rights Management (DRM) and Authentication category of the Fierce Innovation Awards, while VCAS for Broadcast-Hybrid is a finalist in the DRM/Access Control Solution category of the Streaming Media Readers' Choice Awards. Both solutions offer pay-TV operators an agile multi-network revenue security approach with the flexibility and scalability they need to meet their future goals for growth.

Video watermarking for forensic tracking is integral to both solutions and a requirement for premium UHD services.

We are delighted to be recognized by both Fierce and Streaming Media - two highly regarded media outlets covering next-generation video service operators, said Steve Oetegenn, president, Verimatrix. Achieving finalist status for these two premier awards underscores our commitment to innovation, and reaffirms our ability to provide solutions for the key issues challenging the pay-TV industry.
