net+ Delivers First-Class OTT Multiscreen
Experience with VO Player
Relying on the
Multi-Platform Secure Video Player From VO, net+ Subscribers Can Enjoy
Best-of-Breed Experiences, Including Live Sports Content, Across
Tablets, Smartphones, PCs, and Macs
Viaccess-Orca,
a global leader providing OTT and TV platforms, content protection, and
advanced data solutions, announced that net+, Switzerland's
leading provider of French-speaking multimedia content, has launched its
new multiscreen service powered by VO Player.
VO's multi-platform secure video player, which includes DRM for VOD and
live content, enables net+ to deliver a unified viewer experience
across Android™ and iOS® devices, as well as on PCs and Macs
via web browsers. The VO Player is compliant with the DVB-Sub subtitle
format, allowing the operator to reuse subtitle tracks of existing video
content and legacy stream generation systems.
"Competition amongst OTT providers is intense. To monetize our multiscreen offering, we needed a secure video player that allows us to deliver popular programming, including advanced capabilities like time-shift TV and graphical subtitles, with a short time to market," said Romain Lonfat, Head of TV at netplus.ch SA. "VO Player, combined with support from Viaccess-Orca's DevOps organization, perfectly suits our requirement for a high-quality video player with a responsive technology service team."
VO's secure video player
offers seamless integration with Verimatrix ViewRight Web and additional
protection such as screen casting and recording securities. With the VO
Player net+ can meet security requirements from content owners,
including major Hollywood studios and sports federations like the NHL,
and focus on content discovery and delivery, while VO manages secure
content consumption on multiple devices.
"The OTT multiscreen
environment is always changing, and it's important that operators
differentiate the user experience and ensure a fast time to market for
their services," said Benoit Brieussel, Vice President Sales Player at
Viaccess-Orca. "VO's secure video player is extremely flexible, secure,
and high-performing, allowing net+ to deliver compelling experiences on
all connected devices from a single platform."
