Streaming services

The streaming services enable the operator to easily deploy Video on demand, Network Personal Video Recorder, Pause Live TV and other related services. Streaming services fully support MPEG-2 and MPEG-4, as well as the advanced H.264 part 10 video compression codec, giving the operator complete control of the streamed content. No additional services are required to support HD-capable Set-Top Boxes.

We at Fora take security very seriously. All industry leading CA systems, such as Verimatrix and Irdeto can be integrated into the system, preventing man-in-the-middle content theft. On top of that, we have implemented additional content access protection, which prevents unauthorized session initiation and secures it with 1024-bit RSA keys. This way the provider may rest assured that all active sessions were fully authorized.
