www.researchandmarkets.com - Research and Markets (www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f0882a/content_protection) has announced the addition of the "Content Protection for IPTV & Multi-Screen Converged Services" report to their offering.

This report captures and explains the dynamic sector of IPTV Content Protection as it evolves from basic Conditional Access (and Encryption) to DRM (Digital Rights Management) and Forensics (including

Watermarking and Fingerprinting). It is a must-have resource for Content Owners, IPTV Operators and multi-platform Service Providers; and for Middleware, VOD and Encoder/Decoder vendors, and other key players in the single and multi-platform (converged) video delivery value chain. Most importantly, the report identifies a roadmap for enhanced security products plus best practices and tips to Operators on turning Content Protection into added revenue.

This report was designed to address some basic questions about the securing of high-value content for single and multi-screen services: What is the pricing structure used by security vendors? How does pricing change as IPTV Operators progress through the Basic, Intermediate, Advanced and converged stages of IPTV service? What are the most vulnerable points in the content value chain, and how do we best "plug those holes?" When does Content Protection make sense, when does it not? Finally, what will be the benefits to Operators for investing in Content Protection products & services? -0- Key Topics Covered: - IPTV Content Protection Categories Defined - The Content Protection Value Chain - Protection Methods Used By IPTV and Multi-service Operators - CapEx and OpEx Costs for IPTV Content Protection - IPTV Content Protection Vendors - Standards and Industry Consortia - Operator Examples - Observations, Analysis and Issues - Conclusions & Recommendations - IPTV Content Protection Vendor Profiles - Index of Companies - Table of Figures - Table of Tables Companies Mentioned: - 3GPP/TISPAN - ADB - Advestigo - Alcatel-Lucent - Amino - Apple - AquaMobile - AT&T - ATIS - Audible Magic - Avail Media - Avmap - Belgacom - Bell Aliant - Bharti Airtel - B-Net Croatia - Brasil Telecom - Broadcom - CableLabs - Cablevision - Cavalier Telephone - CenturyTel - China Netcom - Chunghwa Telecom - Ciena - Cisco (Scientific-Atlanta) - ComX - Conax - Conexant - Consolidated Communications - Content Protection Technical Working Group (CPTWG) - Coral Consortium - Cox Cable - CSI Digital - DataMark Technologies - Digicable Networks - Digimarc Corporation - Digital Cinema Initiative - Digital Content Protection LLC - Digital Watermarking Alliance (DWA) - DirecTV - Dolby - Du - DVB - EchoStar - EEC - Elion - Entone - EPM - Ericsson - ESR Switzerland - Falcon - Fox - France Telecom - Fraunhofer - Garmin - GCS Research - Gibson - Google - Hansen - Hathaway - Hewlett-Packard - Huawei - Humax - Hyundai - IBM Corporation - IETF MSEC - Intel - Intelsat - InterDigital Technology - Intertrust - IOL Netcom - IP Prime - iPharro - Irdeto - iRiver - ISAN-IA - ITU-T - Kaon - KPN - KT - Kudelski Group - Latelecom - Latens - LG - Lyse Tele - Macrovision - Magnet Networks - Manitoba - MarkAny - Marlin Initiative - Maroc Telecom - Matsushita (Panasonic) - Me-Art - Media Sciences International - MediaGrid - Microsoft - Minerva Networks - Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) - Motorola - Multimedia Polska - MySpace - Nagravision - NBC Universal - NDS - NEC - Nielsen Company - Nokia Siemens Networks - Nortel - NRTC - NTCA - NTT - Open IPTV Forum - Optibase - Orca - OTE - Panasonic - Paramount Pictures Corporation - PCCW (Cascade) - PCTL - Philips - Pioneer - Portugal Telecom - Primetel - Quative - RTK - Samsung - SaskTel - SecureMedia - SES Americom - Sigma Designs - Signum - Siminn - Sky - SkyLife - Skyworth - SmileTV - Sonaecom - Sony - Sony Pictures Entertainment - Sony Ericsson - StarTV - STMicroelectronics - Suncomm - SureWest - TANDBERG - Tata - T-Com Croatia - T-Com Innovation - Tele2Vision - Telefonica Brasil - Telemar/OI - Telenor - Teletrax - Televisa - Telia Stofa - TeliaSonera - Telsur - Telus - TEO LT - Thomson - Tilgin - Time Warner - TISPAN - TPS-L - True - TV Sierre - Universal - Universal City Studios LLLP - Universite Catholique de Louvain - USA Video Interactive Corporation - UTStarcom - Verance - Verimatrix - Viaccess - Vidyatel - Vodafone - Walt Disney Company - Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures - Warner Bros. - Warner Bros.
