Nagravision, a Kudelski Group company and independent provider of content protection and media and entertainment solutions, has announced that regional commercial broadcasters RTL Croatia and Pro Plus Slovenia, have deployed Nagra Venturi to securely distribute Formula 1 content to their subscribers across the Adriatic region for the 2026 season.

Deployed in just one month, the solution combines Nagra Venturi’s piracy monitoring services with network-level forensic watermarking to provide actionable, anti-piracy intelligence. By continuously monitoring and identifying sources of unauthorised content redistribution, the solution enables RTL Croatia and Pro Plus Slovenia to detect and combat piracy more effectively while safeguarding the viewing experience for legitimate sports fans.


The project was delivered in close collaboration with long-standing Nagra Venturi partner Ateme with minimal impact on existing workflows, to deliver a scalable and operationally efficient approach.

Šime Jurlina, CTO at RTL Croatia, commented: “Protecting premium sports content is critical both to safeguarding the value of our investment in live sport and to delivering the best possible experience for Formula 1 fans. Working closely with Nagravision and Ateme, we deployed advanced piracy monitoring and forensic watermarking within a matter of weeks, significantly strengthening our security across the region.”

Daniel Cof, CTO at Pro Plus, said: “Formula 1 is one of the most valuable properties in our portfolio, so protecting the way it reaches our viewers is a business priority, not merely a technical one. The solution integrates seamlessly into our existing delivery workflows, allowing our teams to maintain the same setup while gaining much greater visibility into the sources of unauthorised redistribution, and enabling us to act more quickly.”

“Premium live sports content remains one of the most valuable assets today, making real-time and effective content protection essential to preserving its value,” added Morten Solbakken, Executive Vice President and COO at Nagravision. “We thank RTL Croatia and Pro Plus Slovenia for entrusting Nagravision to strengthen their content security strategy, allowing us to protect the value of their Formula 1 investment with Nagra Venturi.
