Streaming Media: Online Video Industry Forecast 2012 - Media Excel
Throughout the past few years, the advancements in multiscreen video delivery have trained consumers to expect a unified experience across all their screens. Features such as content mobility, service availability, instant gratification and even interactivity are becoming more and more prominent in the streaming video arena.
However, as HD and multiscreen content becomes more pervasive, service providers and operators are even more challenged by constantly trying to balance between the bandwidth-demanding video streams and their promising revenue streams. Even though those two types of streams are quite different, they continue to be closely tied together as both represent the number one priority for most operators.
BuyDRM and MediaExcel Announce PlayReady DRM Integrated Workflow For Android and iOS Devices
BuyDRM, a pioneer in DRM technologies for pay-media operators, announced today that the company has partnered with Media Excel to launch a PlayReady integrated content encoding and encryption platform, the HERO nS multi-screen transcoder which supports the KeyOS Key Management API for content encryption.
Media Excel customers can now benefit from having one automated content transcoding workflow where Microsoft’s PlayReady DRM is an integrated component of the process. Prior to transcoding, the HERO nS securely acquires content encryption keys from the KeyOS Key Management API. Once content is prepared via the HERO nS it is then published to a CDN or hosting environment where users can view it. KeyOS provides the license key clearinghouse to enable each viewer to securely consume the content using the rights provided by the content owner through the KeyOS Licensing API.
