Content Protection

Learn about Studio DRM, Apple FairPlay Streaming, Google Widevine DRM, PlayReady, geoblocking, blackout, and conditional/reverse blackout.

Feature	Description
Studio DRM	Studio DRM lets you control how and when customers consume content with minimal changes to your existing workflow. It enforces copyright licensing by restricting playback of your digital media and prevents unauthorized distribution. Learn about the basic setup, requirements, and Policy Configuration.
Apple FairPlay DRM	Stop playback on mobile devices and Apple TV when an expired Content Key (CK) is detected. Identify individual devices without compromising anonymity through a device identifier within the Server Playback Context (SPC) message.
Google Widevine DRM	Learn about license acquisition and player setup for Google Widevine (Android, Chrome, and Chromecast) and Microsoft PlayReady (Roku, Xbox, and Microsoft Edge).
Geoblocking	Geoblocking restricts access to your content by country. It prevents users in restricted countries from initiating playback sessions or downloading audio/video segments.
Blackouts	Blackout lets you black out specific live linear programming to predefined sets of viewers (audiences). Blacked-out viewers see slate, a different live channel, on-demand content, or content from a different Live Slicer instead of standard programming. Use this capability to prevent infringement of broadcasting rights.
Conditional and Reverse Blackout	Restrict programming from specific viewers and stream alternate content instead of the regularly scheduled program. Implement blackout using one of the following options: Conditional Blackout, Reverse Blackout, or Blackout.
