サマリー

限定受信システム(CAS)とデジタル著作権管理(DRM)の技術によって、動画コンテンツのコンテンツ保護(コピー予防)や収入保護(無許可のユーザへの接続拒否)が可能になる。CAS市場は、ダウンロード可能で再生可能なCAS技術や、特にSimulcryptなどのDVBの標準化によって着実に変化している。DRM市場は成熟してきており、PCや接続しているテレビへのコンテンツ配信が中心の従来の通信会社のテレビサービスから、タブレットやスマートフォンなどのマルチスクリーンデバイスへと移行しつつある。この調査レポートは、オペレータとCASベンダの所有権の連携、ミドルウエアとCASペアリング、CableCardとAllVid、DVB Simulcryptとそのビジネス採用、カードレス、ダウンロード可能なCASと関連するビジネスモデル、DRMシステム、セキュリティ統合などを取り巻く現在の環境を調査している。北米のケーブルシステムのDTAの役割と独自の方式、適用できるビットレートストリーミング、VODや広告、アプリケーション、インターネットコンテンツなどの高度なコンテンツ配信についても調査している。CASシステムは、ケーブル、衛星、Telco TV (IPTV)、地上波デジタルの4つのプラットフォームについて予測している。収益の予測は、プラットフォーム毎に、地域毎(北米、ラテンアメリカ、西欧、東欧、アジア太平洋、)に記載している。ベンダ市場シェアは、プラットフォームと地域毎(西欧と中東・アフリカ、北米、ラテンアメリカ、東欧、アジア太平洋)に記載している。デジタル著作権管理の収益は、7つの地域毎に記載しているが、プラットフォーム毎のブレークダウンはなされていない。

Conditional Access Systems (CAS) and Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies provide content protection (copy prevention) and revenue protection (blocking access to unauthorized users) for video content. The CAS market is changing slowly based on downloadable and renewable CAS technologies and DVB standardization, notably Simulcrypt. The DRM market is maturing and moving from a PC and traditional Telco IPTV focus to look at content delivery to connected TVs and multiscreen devices (tablets, smartphones). This report discusses the current environment surrounding operator-CAS vendor ownership relationships, middleware and CAS pairing, CableCard and AllVid, DVB Simulcrypt and its business implications, cardless, downloadable CAS and associated business models, DRM systems, and security integration. It covers the role (and unique treatment) of the DTA in North American Cable systems, adaptive bitrate streaming, and delivery of advanced content including VOD, advertising, applications and internet content. CAS systems are forecast for four platforms -- cable, satellite, Telco TV (IPTV) and digital terrestrial (DTT) systems. Revenue forecasts are segmented by platform for North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia-Pacific and Middle East and Africa. Vendor market shares are segmented by platform for (a) Europe, Middle East and Africa (b) North America, (c) Latin America (d) Asia-Pacific. Digital Rights Management revenues are segmented by the seven regions, but not broken out by platform.

Revenues Shift from CAS to DRM as Multi-Screens Drive Market to $2.5 Billion in 2016

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - September 26, 2011
The broadcast pay TV sector, composed of cable, satellite, and terrestrial offerings, uses two distinct forms of content protection. Traditional conditional access systems (CAS) protect broadcast content to set-top boxes, as well as some additional content such as VOD, while digital rights management (DRM) technologies are used to protect content being delivered to multi-screen devices, including tablets, smartphones, and connected TVs. The worldwide market for pay TV CAS and DRM will grow at a relatively modest 15% from $2.2 billion in 2011 to $2.5 billion in 2016. However, there is a significant shift from revenues derived from traditional CAS systems to revenues coming from DRM technologies; DRM constitutes 47% of the market in 2011 but grows to 59% in 2016.

Leading worldwide CAS vendors based on number of managed boxes include Nagra, NDS and Motorola. China Digital TV has recently passed Cisco for the fourth position based on strong digitization of Asian cable platforms. In the DRM space, Google’s Widevine and Microsoft’s PlayReady and Silverlight lead the market.

“Traditional CAS vendors are working hard to adapt their solutions for Telco’s IPTV platforms as well as protecting content to multiple screens. NDS just announced their VideoGuard Connect solution in order to deliver DRM technologies to their CAS customers, rather than lose them to third parties. Motorola acquired SecureMedia last year for similar reasons,” says Sam Rosen, senior analyst, digital home. “If Google integrates Widevine DRM with Motorola MediaCipher and markets it to operators successfully, they would have a complete and very competitive solution.”

ABI Research’s report, “Conditional Access and Digital Rights Management for Pay TV Markets,” covers worldwide markets for CAS and DRM technologies within the pay TV infrastructure. It provides market shares of managed subscribers on a regional and platform level as well as revenue forecasts for the markets. It highlights business implications of a number of the technological changes in the space, including DVB Simulcrypt and downloadable/renewable CAS technologies.
