Announcing: DRM Technology and MPEG-DASH Support in Wowza Streaming Cloud

Announcing: DRM Technology and MPEG-DASH Support in Wowza Streaming Cloud Today, we’re announcing two new features in Wowza streaming Cloud that customers can start taking advantage of immediately.

Protect your valuable content from unauthorized viewing

No longer only available in Wowza Streaming Engine, Wowza Streaming Cloud’s DRM technology protects your video from unauthorized copying or re-distribution and limits viewership to only the intended devices and consumers. By leveraging DRM technology in Wowza Streaming Cloud, you can easily integrate EZDRM, a third-party digital rights management (DRM) service, to obtain and manage your encryption keys.
With Wowza’s DRM technology, you get the full feature set of studio-approved DRMs — including Google Widevine, Microsoft PlayReady, and Apple FairPlay (FPS) — with the scale-on-demand power of a hosted solution.

Deliver your video at the best quality possible using MPEG-DASH

Deliver your content to as many devices, browsers, and platforms as possible with the open-standard HTTP-based streaming protocol. Ensure your video is delivered at the best quality possible via adaptive bitrate streaming, and rest assured that your content is protected from unauthorized copying or redistribution with support from Wowza Streaming Cloud’s DRM technology. With MPEG-DASH, you can scale smarter by cost-effectively deploying and streaming to a CDN to grow your audience
