Description

Establishing and configuring a DRM license server within your system can be quite challenging. However, Azure Content Protection simplifies this process by enabling you to deploy essential DRM license delivery options, including Microsoft PlayReady, Widevine, and FairPlay Streaming, in just a few minutes. You can specify the types of licenses you require, while we take care of the underlying infrastructure, security measures, and scalability needs. Azure Media Services also provides the capability for on-the-fly encryption for both video on demand (VOD) and live streaming, making it a more economical choice compared to conventional static encryption and packaging methods. This is because Media Services retains only one version of the standard multiple-bitrate MP4s and utilizes dynamic encryption techniques. Furthermore, in the event that your content key becomes compromised, you can easily invoke our APIs to update the key without having to re-encrypt your entire library, thus saving time and resources. This streamlined approach not only enhances security but also optimizes operational efficiency.

Description

Microsoft is dedicated to collaborating with various companies involved in content delivery to guarantee that consumers can enjoy high-quality content both at home and on the go, no matter which device or service they opt for. The support for CBC-S in software clients is a notable enhancement, allowing PlayReady Server to operate on Linux with significant performance improvements through asynchronous processing. Additionally, there are numerous other enhancements that cater to content owners' needs for 1080p, 4K, and even higher resolution formats, alongside the necessary protection for early window content. To further promote the adoption of PlayReady and HTML5 EME on devices like smartphones, set-top boxes, and smart TVs, Microsoft plans to offer a comprehensive suite of tools that will facilitate the integration of PlayReady into the latest browsers on these platforms. These tools aim to streamline development processes and simplify the work for ecosystem partners, ultimately enabling service providers to deliver premium video content directly through a viewer's web browser, eliminating the need for plug-ins. This initiative not only enhances user convenience but also paves the way for broader accessibility of premium content across various devices.
