Hochschalten bis zum Internet der Dinge in der Automobilwelt
Der Markt für bordeigenes Infotainment sorgt weiterhin für spannende Schlagzeilen – und das aus gutem Grund. Es wird viel in Elektroautos, autonomes Fahren und Smart Cities investiert, und die Revolution hin zu einer automatisierteren und vernetzteren Zukunft schaltet einen Gang höher.
In unserem neuen E-Book betrachten wir die lange und aufregende Reise - mit vielen technologischen Stationen auf dem Weg - die uns von der heutigen Realität zu dieser Vision führen wird. Ausgehend vom derzeitigen Stand des Marktes betrachten wir die Auswirkungen von In-Car-Konnektivität auf den Markt: von der Lösung des BYOD-Problems im Vergleich zu eingebetteten Problemen bis hin zur Übernahme offener Standards und zur Einbeziehung der Verbraucher. Mit Blick auf die Zukunft beleuchten wir auch das Internet der Dinge und wie es die Automobilindustrie verändern wird.

Pay-TV Connected Home Solution - Securing Video Services in the Home Network
With DLNA CVP-2 Premium Video sharing and link layer protection, service providers can offer consumers the ability to stream their favorite television programs and movies to DLNA Certified® products such as digital televisions, tablets, smart phones, Blu-ray disc players and video game consoles. But how can the TV Everywhere environment be secured in order to facilitate content licensing and, ultimately, to maximize the content monetization potential and subscriber ARPU?
Verimatrix and ACCESS together meet this challenge by providing a unique architecture, combining DRM and DLNA and thus bridging the pay-TV and CE universes. This document provides a brief overview while a more detailed technical description is available under NDA from either company.

The New Reality: Tomorrow’s Multiscreen, Multirights World
Consumers are embracing today’s multiscreen world; however, pay-TV providers have yet to take full advantage of this new market opportunity. Since the introduction of multiscreen services, operators have faced significant questions regarding multiscreen/TV Everywhere. Initially, these questions dwelt on how to deal with OTT competition and potential cord cutting. These threats and the increasing consumer appetite for online video services pushed many operators to invest in multiscreen delivery solutions. How operators address these challenges will determine their future competitiveness and success in the OTT marketplace.

New Market Realities in Content Delivery
A new Parks Associates white paper, "New Market Realities in Content Delivery", looks at the security challenges that need to be faced before multiscreen is ready for primetime. Parks comments that "in an arena where content has seemingly ruled, consumers, instead, are the driving force." The paper looks at how security and multiscreen interacts for operators, the content industry and the consumer. A key finding in the Park Associates paper is that "Smart TV manufacturers will hold a prime seat at the table if they develop a future- proof roadmap that allows for affordable upgrades to their own technology."

Unlocking and Securing Multiscreen's Monetization Potential
This white paper by IHS Screen Digest identifies the following technologies as key to monetization: DLNA, HTML5, Security (CAS/DRM). It's interesting that the IHS Screen Digest paper sites insurance as the main driver of present multiscreen deployments. It's our opinion that consumers that have signed up for OTT services have done so because they perceive these services to be more exciting than the VoD services offered by operators - this has clearly negatively affected their VoD buy-rates. In addition, most territories have at least one operator that has, or is about to, launch a multiscreen offering. At which point multiscreen moves from 'insurance' to a 'must have' for other operators.

Multiscreen: monetization or mayhem?
Megatrends are making their mark in the video entertainment industry, affecting device manufacturers, content distributors and consumers alike. These trends include the collision between over-the-top (OTT) content distribution using the internet and pay TV business models, the blossoming of connected TV strategies and the increasing importance of social media in TV. In the past companies in the content production, distribution and device manufacture spaces have for the most part worked together – and they will continue to do so – however, the future will also see these industries increasingly collide, as for example consumer electronics (CE) device manufacturers look to distribute content in the search for incremental and recurring revenues.
