创作 Offers Universal DRM Solution for Multi-Platform Playback
As Google is ending Chrome support for NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface) this month, 创作 saw that it's customers with large Silverlight video libraries were scrambling for a solution. That's why 创作 today announced its Universal DRM solution. 创作 customers can continue to stream Silverlight as before, and the HTML5 video player will detect what browser is being used and will translate the DRM to one that will work. The solution is intended as a bridge, so that content owners don't need to immediately port large Silverlight libraries.
What those content owners will eventually want to do, 创作说, is move to DASH and Common Encryption (CENC), for a video standard that's free of plug-ins. 创作 has partnered with Castlabs to create the Universal DRM solution, with will give customers time to move to DASH and CENC.
To use the DRM solution, 创作 customers will need to set up their accounts to use the connector, which will translate the older DRM to new options. It should be a quick process.
前进, 创作 sees the DRM market becoming more standardized, which should help it compete with companies offering proprietary DRM technologies.
“With 创作’s modular DRM solution, content providers can make a smooth transition to the new digital ecosystem. This is yet another example of how 创作’s flexible, future-proof technology continues to evolve,” says Ron Yekutiel, 创作 chairman and CEO.
