Appendix A: DRM for Windows Media

You can protect your content using a technology called Digital Rights Management (DRM). Niagara SCX allows you to encrypt your content with DRM technology while you are encoding. You can apply DRM while encoding to a file and when broadcasting a stream. Users will be required to obtain a license to play the content. This license contains the key to unlock the content and the rights that govern its use.

Note: Licenses are issued by a third-party license provider, so you must set up an account with a third- party license provider to protect your content.

Niagara SCX automatically detects any available DRM profiles imported on the encoding system. If no DRM profiles are installed, the DRM functions in Niagara SCX are disabled. To enable the DRM function in Niagara SCX, you must do the following:

∙

∙

Set up an account with a third-party license provider and create a DRM profile.

Import the DRM profile using the Windows Media Encoder application included with Niagara streaming appliances or available as a free download from Microsoft Corporation (http://www.microsoft.com ).

∙Restart the unit on which Niagara SCX is installed, allowing the software to auto-detect and enable its DRM functions.
