WISI enables seamless migration to ATSC 3.0 with advanced A3SA content protection support

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WISI, a leading global provider of telecommunications solutions, is excited to announce a major update to the Inca IP Video Platform, designed to simplify the transition to ATSC 3.0 for multichannel video operators across the U.S. and Canada. This follows the success of WISI's initial launch of ATSC 3.0 reception capability within the Inca platform earlier this year.

The new update, available in November 2024, enables operators to receive both ATSC 1.0 and ATSC 3.0 signals within the same platform, with the addition of bulk Widevine decryption of ATSC 3.0 streams with the ATSC 3.0 content protection technology from the ATSC 3.0 Security Authority (A3SA.). Broadcast content protection is already broadly adopted within the U.S. ATSC 3.0 market.

"As broadcasters continue to evolve to ATSC 3.0, WISI's solution empowers operators to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring they are fully equipped to deliver top-tier video services to their subscribers."

With ATSC 3.0 broadcasts now reaching 76% of U.S. TV households, the migration to this advanced standard is not just on the horizon—it's already underway. Video operators must be equipped to integrate new ATSC 3.0 signals into their TV service for residential and business subscribers. With the Inca IP Video Platform, multichannel video operators can instantly adopt ATSC 3.0 or continue using ATSC 1.0 in the short term with the intent to transition in the future. The Inca solution provides a smooth path for upgrading from the ATSC 1.0 standard to ATSC 3.0 signals without the need for additional hardware. This ensures operators are prepared to pivot as the market evolves.

"As broadcasters continue to evolve to ATSC 3.0, WISI's solution empowers operators to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring they are fully equipped to deliver top-tier video services to their subscribers," said Sharen Sandhu, VP of Product at WISI. "Our latest update includes robust support for ingestion, processing, transcoding, and forwarding of A3SA-protected streams, crucial for delivering these new ultra-high-definition NEXTGEN TV broadcast transmissions."

Key Features of the ATSC 3.0 Receiver Module:

  •     Receive ATSC 3.0 signals and unwrap A3SA content protection for the professional environment
  •     Seamlessly upgrade from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0 within the same chassis
  •     Optionally transcode video between MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and HEVC
  •     Experience integrated monitoring and analytics through WISI's VidiOS™ management system, automatically included within the Inca platform
  •     Output MPEG Transport Stream as IP or SRT and seamlessly deliver to remote video head ends or network locations for additional processing

In an evolving market, where the long-term deployment of ATSC 3.0 is still taking shape, WISI's modular architecture ensures a cost-effective pathway, allowing operators to incrementally add capacity as needed, without upfront overinvestment.
