5. How DRM works?
❏ UPLOAD THE CONTENT : Vendors who wish to take DRM software
can upload the content once after registration takes place.
❏ ENCRYPTION: Vendors content will be secured in DRM database to
deliver the end user without any piracy issues .
❏ CONTENT DELIVERY : When a user wishes to watch content, their
device first accesses a manifest file which is the “table of contents”
for the video’s file-set. The manifest file contains the encrypted
video’s location as well as DRM system information and additional
metadata.
❏ LICENSE DELIVERY : To acquire a license key, the DRM layer in
the user’s player application uses the information in the manifest file
to launch a request.

7. Multi-DRM AND IT’S BENEFITS
“Maximum device reach is directly proportional to the using of
multiple DRMs in parallel”
Benefits of using Multi-DRM
❏ Reduces encryption cost because a single encryption process is used
to target different platforms with its native DRMs.
❏ Reduces the cost of managing assets because only a single copy of
assets is needed in storage.
❏ Eliminates DRM client licensing costs because the native DRM client is
usually free on its native platform.
