The Kaltura Universal Studio Player bridges the changes that have arisen due to disabling existing content protection systems and supports legacy files encrypted using Smooth Streaming/Playready as well as HTML5 encrypted files. The Kaltura Universal DRM solution bridges this gap by supporting all major DRM schemas as well as supporting on the fly DRM packaging - allowing for automatic detection of the needed DRM schema - based on platform/browser capabilities and security consideration (hardware based DRM support will be preferred - for instance Fairplay for iOS, WIdevine for Android, and in browser default CDM support considerations - for instance Playready for Microsoft Edge browsers). In its most basic form, this means using CENC and DASH to deliver content exclusively to HTML5 EME browsers. Switching to modular DRM allows the use of a single standard to deliver to newer HTML5 EME enabled browsers. In a universal modular DRM solution, the same solution supplies the appropriate protocol for whichever browser is being used. To keep up with shifts in browser platforms, DRM solutions must now include support for the HTML5 Encrypted Media Extension standard, delivered through the new streaming protocol MPEG-DASH. As of April 2015 - Silverslight/Playready on Chrome has been deprecated.

The requirements for end -users is to download a plugin to view DRM content.

The result: huge storage costs and file maintenance is challenging. Every entry is transcoded, encrypted, and then packaged to support each DRM technology. Every piece of content goes through a packager and is then pre-encrypted.When delivering premium content, it is critical that the end user continues to receive a consistent, high quality experience, no matter which device they use. With Kaltura’s Universal DRM solution, content providers can make a smooth transition to the new digital ecosystem. Using this single standard also reduces the storage space required for files, the effort needed for content management, and the fees associated with multiple delivery technologies. the Kaltura Universal Studio Player across browsers and native apps to ensure seamless support for analytics, business rules, and the user experience. Where old methods of handling DRM demanded separate files and separate players for each DRM technology, Kaltura’s solution uses a single unified player. The move to support DASH and Common Encryption (CENC) is necessary for anyone that wants to provide premium video content that is playable on all of the major browsers, platforms, and devices now available, while continuing to comply with content owners’ DRM requirements. The Kaltura Universal Studio player also now supports client-side translation of existing Smooth Streaming streams into DASH Common Encryption (CENC) for playback in Chrome/Internet Explorer browsers that support the HTML5 EME standard. With Google and others moving to deprecate or disable existing content protection systems (for example, Widevine Classic and Silverlight plugins), and Google choosing to disable NPAPI (Netscape Plugin Application Programming Interface) support in the Chrome browser as of April 2015, Kaltura’s Universal DRM solution allows video service providers to easily transition to Universal DRM from other delivery protocols, without disrupting service and uses one unified secure player, the Kaltura Universal Studio Player, to resolve the end-of-life challenge of existing player technology. Kaltura's solution also reduces storage costs and integration fees, by supporting on the fly DRM - tightly integrated with the Kaltura on the fly packager. Universal DRM enables media companies, content rights owners and OTT providers to stream premium content without needing to worry about which browser, device or platform is being used - by supporting all major DRM schemas including Playready (over Smooth Stream and Dash CENC), Widevine (Classic and Modular over Dash CENC) and Apple Fairplay. Kaltura's Universal DRM (Digital Rights Management) module is the Kaltura solution for the multi DRM eco system. Please contact your Kaltura Customer Success Manager for more information.
