Sotal has Successfully Completed Google Widevine DRM and Adaptive Streaming Project

BIRGDEN, Germany, October 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Sotal has announced the completion of Google Widevine Digital Rights Management (DRM)
and adaptive streaming integration for Oll.tv video service (provided by Digital Screens
LLC, Ukraine). This project was unique in terms of complexity, multiplatform scope and the
100% remote installation and configuration.

    The integration of Google Widevine allows the operator to improve control over video
distribution and usage. It also supports various marketing scenarios, to create tailored
content sales packages and to increase the availability of the service for "multiscreen"
customers through industry approved formats of video delivery over volatile public
internet channels.

    "Having a solid strategy we understand that it is crucial for our success in the
digital content distribution market to protect content with tools trusted by the content
owners. We choose Google Widevine and Microsoft Playready as the most reputable ones in
the world. These platforms will allow expansion of our service to a wider range of client
devices, and Sotal has helped us to integrate both DRM technologies into asset
preparation, publishing and distribution processes, "- stated Nick Nazarov, CTO at Digital
Screens.

    "This project was great as we could deploy all our competencies to deliver Widevine
DRM and adaptive streaming for VOD and Live. We also built on our knowledge in end-user
application integration on the basis of our innovative Sotal Lighthouse platform. We trust
to expand our mutually beneficial cooperation with DigitalScreens in the future" -
commented Sergey Tatarchenko, CEO of Sotal.
