iStreamPlanet Launches Atlas DRM™ Service
Las Vegas(13 Apr 2016)
iStreamPlanet, a leading provider of live streaming and OTT services, announced today the launch of its new Atlas DRM cloud service. Atlas DRM allows iStreamPlanet customers to securely deliver media to millions of users on a number of the most popular playback devices, including simple integration to iStreamPlanet’s Aventus media processing platform and 3rd party packaging solutions. Atlas DRM will be available in the marketplace beginning May 1.
Atlas DRM provides a complete solution for content encoding and security for both live streaming and on-demand video (VOD) services, in conjunction with iStreamPlanet’s Aventus media processing platform. Atlas DRM, as a cloud service, cost effectively scales to handle large numbers of concurrent users for high-demand content without the need to purchase additional on premise appliances. The service was built to sustain high availability operation and is deployed across multiple geographic regions. Atlas DRM supports industry standard DRM technologies, including Apple FairPlay, Microsoft PlayReady, Adobe Primetime, and Google Widevine. Integration with player applications is straightforward, using well documented SDKs from the industry standard DRM technologies. Atlas DRM uses standard security foundations such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), along with the Sample-AES packaging standards.
“We listened carefully to our customers to ensure we prioritized the right features for their business needs, and we’re excited to bring more capabilities to the iStreamPlanet product portfolio with the launch of Atlas DRM,” said Tim Davis, VP of Product Management at iStreamPlanet.
“The industry needed a scalable, cost-effective solution to securely bring HD content online while supporting the widest possible range of consumer devices,” said Brooks Tobey, senior vice president, technology strategy and business operations at Turner. “iStreamPlanet’s Atlas DRM product provides this strategic and imperative result while managing the entire media encoding and DRM pipeline from source to end user.”
"Combining services from iStreamPlanet and Encoding.com gives our customers a one-stop shop for video transcoding and DRM packaging of VOD assets,” said Jeff Malkin, president at Encoding.com. “Using iStreamPlanet's simple web APIs, we love that we were able to quickly add content protection to meet the needs of a major media customer.”
