This paper focuses on broadcasters’ need for content protection that will secure both DVB and OTT services, but free of outmoded approaches with conditional access systems (CAS) and set-top-boxes (STBs). The advanced processing capabilities of modern smart TV chips make it possible to eliminate the costs and inconveniences of CAS and STBs.

As we’ve seen with the global events of the last eight months, a world without video would be dreadful. Imagine this situation without global connectivity, or the sharing of information. 100 years ago, Spanish Flu devastated the world, and one explanation for that outcome was a lack of information.

FIND OUT HOW MILLIONS OF FANS AROUND THE WORLD GET TO SEE THE RACE UNFOLD
ORIOL PUIGDEMONT – A FAN’S PERSPECTIVE
Oriol Puigdemont has been a motorsports journalist since 2004, covering different race categories such as MotoGP, Formula 1 and Dakar Rally. Not many people get to go ‘behind the scenes’ at a MotoGP event with one of the world’s largest telecommunications specialists, Tata Communications.
As a fan of the sport, and someone who makes a point of trying to keep up with technology, I thought I might have an idea of what was required to set up a live control centre and broadcast the action around the world. But, you can honestly only begin to appreciate the size and scale of the logistics needed, by seeing something like this first-hand. And I was fortunate enough to have that exclusive access at the Italian Grand Prix. I visited the Tata Communications control centre at the Mugello Circuit in Tuscany, Italy, just hours before the race was due to start.
My remit was to find out how millions of fans around the world got to see the race unfold. This is a story about what goes on behind the scenes; the vast, almost mind-blowing technology that works in the background to make it happen.

TVUp is a Spain-based company that has created TIVIFY OTT platform, a PayTV as a service with premium channels and content for both Spanish and international markets (B2B2C). TIVIFY runs via an Android TV set-top-box as the main device. The platform is distributed via two commercial models: Tivify (B2C) and Tivify PRO (B2B2C), enabling operators to give the best offer of linear and non-linear TV and to offer viewers the same advanced functionalities such as applications and games that big players in the market can provide.
The TVUp platform offers clients access to its own TV platform and channel bouquet and a wide variety of content through the Play Store, including YouTube, Spotify, Disney +, HBO, Amazon Prime and DAZN.
In setting up this service, TVUp required a partner with considerable OTT delivery expertise to ensure, above all, a premium viewing experience for its customers. As the leader in video delivery solutions for Broadcast, Cable TV, DTH, IPTV and OTT, ATEME’s expertise in delivering similar projects and best of breed technology in the form of its TITAN solution made it stand out to TVUp. “We have been closely following the evolution of ATEME and its encoding solutions for some time now. With a huge amount of experience and a strong local presence in Spain, ATEME was an obvious choice for us,” comments Francisco Sáez, CTO, TVUp.

These were the words we came to say and believe as an organization in early spring as the coronavirus spread across the world and began to paralyze the business operations of our customers and the broader community. Even as we were transitioning our worldwide staff to long-term work-from-home arrangements and restricting travel for safety, we were planning and mobilizing as an entire company to help broadcasters to transition from physical studio operations to remote setups in living rooms and other shared living spaces in homes.
