Secure Streaming : DRM (Digital Rights Management)

If you wish to restrict access to your media files to specific viewers or listeners then you need secure streaming with DRM. This might be because the files are confidential or, more likely, because you want viewers to pay for access to the files. Secure Streaming is available for both on demand (pre-recorded) content and live events.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is used to protect your content and ensure only authorised viewers and listeners have access.

DRM is required for the secure delivery and use of media/digital content on a computer, be it live or pre-recorded (on demand). It allows content owners to:

• Digitally protect the opening and viewing of a piece of media
• Control who looks at the files
• Control how long users can view the files for
• Restrict re-distribution of material without their permission
• Protect videos based upon their own unique business rules

DRM also allows content owners to charge a fee for viewers to access content, therefore providing them with revenue.

As well as offering the long established Microsoft DRM solution PlanetStream are also now able to offer Secure Flash, the new token authentication system from Adobe.

Payment systems for access to files can also be arranged, both on subscription and pay-per-view basis. To discuss your requirements in detail please contact us or call us on 01386 791888.
