Multi-DRM Support

Enables Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady for secure playback across all major devices and browsers — from Chrome and Safari to Android and iOS.

End-to-End Encryption

Protects content with industry-standard encryption for both HLS and DASH streaming protocols, ensuring your media is safe at every step of delivery.

CPIX Integration

Works with CPIX-compatible key management systems for flexible and scalable DRM workflows — giving you full control over key distribution and licensing.

Cross-Platform Playback

Ensures secure streaming on web, mobile, and smart TV environments without compatibility issues — a single pipeline that covers every screen and device.

Token-Based Authentication

Restricts content access to authorized users only via token validation — blocking unauthorized playback attempts before a license is ever issued.

Live & VOD Protection

Applies DRM encryption to both live streams and on-demand recordings from a single unified pipeline — no separate workflows needed for each content type.

1. Content Encryption

Before streaming, the video is encrypted using secure keys so it cannot be played directly even if someone downloads it.

2. License Request

When a user hits play, the video player sends a request to a DRM license server asking for permission to decrypt the content.

3. Authentication & Authorization

The license server verifies whether the user is allowed to watch based on token, login, subscription, or other entitlement criteria.

4. License Delivery

If approved, the server sends a decryption key (license) to the player securely over an encrypted channel.

5. Secure Playback

The player uses this key inside a protected environment (browser or device DRM module) to decrypt and play the video.
