BCi integrates Marlin DRM in Test Lab

Marlin DRM added to BCi portfolio of IPTV, VoD & OTT TV integration and testing expertise

The Marlin solution meets today’s needs for content distribution and provides an end-to-end digital rights management (DRM) solution that is easy to use, efficient, cost effective and applicable to a variety of market requirements.  As well as TV over Broadband and TV over Mobile solutions, Marlin is particularly well suited to Over the Top TV or Internet TV solutions.

Marlin is already active in the market and has been deployed by SONY, Activila and is being trialled by Telefonica.  With its open source, community developed approach, Marlin delivers the most comprehensive and advanced DRM technology in the market today.

BCi has integrated the Marlin technology with other core hardware components into our IPTV testing lab to create a demo and testing environment to showcase Over the Top TV and Internet TV solutions.

BCi’s Consultancy, System Integration and Testing Services offer you a full range of support for Over the Top TV solutions.

Sun Based Video Pump

BCi continues to invest in its Southampton Lab by adding 4 x 1 GigE network cards to one of the Sun servers. The Lab provides a representative broadcast eco-system to support development and testing of IPTV and VoD components and systems. The addition of these cards allows us to present in excess of 3000 concurrent video streams. This is particularly important to create appropriate test conditions for Edge QAMs, Conditional Access kit, rate shapers or SRM’s (Session Resource Managers). It perfectly compliments our RTSP test client as they will form a very effective pair for cost effective capacity testing.

This upgrade forms part of a larger investment BCi are making in the Lab. These changes will further our growth into the IPTV/VoD Consultancy and System Integration support services. In particular it will broaden our Test services and allow clients to ’stress test’ components and systems prior to launch.
