Adopt digital rights management to protect and gain revenue from your streamed media.

Streaming Wizard is one of only a few registered Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM) providers in the UK.

DRM is required for the secure delivery and use of media/digital content on a computer, be it live or pre-recorded (on demand). It allows content owners to:

• Digitally protect the opening and viewing of a piece of media.
• Control who looks at the files.
• Control how long users can view the files for.
• Restrict re-distribution of material without their permission.
• Protect videos based upon their own unique business rules.

DRM also allows content owners to charge a fee for viewers to access content, therefore providing them with revenue.

Digital Rights Management is achieved by encrypting your media files, so they are unable to be played on a computer without obtaining an appropriate license first.

A bespoke license will be programmed/arranged to specific terms and conditions requested by the content owner, to suit their needs. The license may include such details as:

• Login details
• Requirement to make payment
• Pay-per-view arrangement
• Subscription services
• Details on how frequently viewers can access the files (start and expiry dates)
• Free trials
• Gift certificates
• Secure viewing, disabling ability to copy or re-distribute files

When a viewer applies for a license, if they do not comply with all the terms and conditions, a license will not be granted to access the media files.

If a license is successfully granted to a viewer, the license is delivered and stored on their computer. Sharing or distribution of DRM content, having obtained a license on a computer is disabled.

The license conditions can be amended at any time.

DRM is the solution for securing the delivery of content over the internet and for charging a fee to access content.

Streaming Wizard can advise and provide you with DRM to suit your individual business requirements, including:

• Full encryption of the media content you want to protect
• Provision of full license management and delivery
• Live and on-demand video streaming
• Reporting capability
