Nagra has announced that its content protection solution, Nagra Connect, is securing the new Ultra HD service from Canal+. The solution ensures content protection of material delivered by satellite broadcast, OTT or within the home in addition to access control for users authorised by Canal+. The announcement follows the extension of both companies’ content protection collaboration in September 2017.
The new service delivers a variety of Ultra HD content to Canal+ viewers via satellite broadcast, as well as OTT, to multiple devices using the operator’s new G9 set-top box, marketed as Le Decodeur. It also brings a number of new benefits and features, including premium TV in every room, performance and stability improvements and the availability of live and recorded services on other devices via Wi-Fi.
Nagra Connect is part of the company’s Security Services Platform, a single, converged CAS/DRM client that fully supports multiple networks, devices and use cases. It can be implemented in set-top boxes, open devices or selected connected TVs, and includes the ability to secure streaming services such as MyCanal to set-top boxes. It is approved by third-party auditors and Hollywood studios for the protection of Ultra HD content.
