Viaccess-Orca Withdraws From Physically Exhibiting At IBC

Viaccess-Orca (VO), a global provider of OTT and TV platforms, content protection and advanced data solutions, announced today that in light of the recent surge in COVID-19 cases and enhanced safety restrictions in the Netherlands the company will not physically participate in IBC2021.

“This was a tough decision for us to make, but the health and safety of our employees and industry colleagues remain our top priority,” said Philippe Leonetti, the company’s CEO. “With the recent rise in COVID-19 cases throughout Europe, and following the Dutch government’s Nov. 12 statement, we no longer think that we can experience a safe and successful IBC Show this year.”

VO’s original plans for the show included showcasing the latest innovations to its end-to-end TV platform and the VO Secure Video Player, as well as highlighting advanced new capabilities for its TV monitoring, targeted TV advertising, content protection and anti-piracy solutions.

VO said: “The hard work and investment made for the physical show will now pivot online, and the company will share these updates over the upcoming weeks via a range of digital platforms.”
