Streaming Methods Required For Linked LASPS Existing Technologies - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

1 DECE CONFIDENTIAL

Streaming Methods Required

• For Linked LASPS

–Existing Technologies (e.g. CA systems) –Move to DECE Common Streaming Technology

• For Dynamic LASPS

–Existing Technologies –Move to DECE Common Streaming Technology

2 DECE CONFIDENTIAL

• 1. Streaming Methods

Straw man approach developed by sub-team for MC consideration

1

All LASPs’ streaming protection methods must obey DECE output rules

2

Three categories of potential streaming methods with different paths to be OK

• A. DRMs Approved for

Downloads = OK

• Approved for: HD, SD,

PD

• Requirement: Assumes

using same technology for streaming as for download

• Approved List:

Adobe Flash Access 2.0 Marlin OMA Playready Widevine

• B. Other technologies validated

by market test = “white list”

• “Approved via market conditions” = for similar

resolution, high value content. (e.g. full HD for PPV/VOD to be stream DECE HD, etc)

• Approval will be for similar devices that “pass” the

market test (e.g. cable settop), not overall approval

• f the technology.
• Group B only used for 1st year approvals,

subsequent technology needs to apply as a Group C

• Candidate list for HD (and SD, PD)

CA systems: PowerKey (SA/Cisco), NDS, MediaCipher (Motorola), Mediaroom (IPTV), Nagra/Canal+ (TBD), Irdeto (TBD), DVB (TBD), Verimatrix (TBD) DRM: WMDRM, DIVX

• Candidate list for SD/PD only: Adobe RTMPE +

SWF Verification, Apple Live Streaming*

• C. Apply for approval vs.

criteria (a la DRM)

• Not expected to be used

until Version 1.1 timeframe

3 DECE CONFIDENTIAL

Market Test for Adoption

• Two categories of Test: HD and SD
• Based on availability: Is the streaming technology being used in the market. The test

would be based on availability in a similar window; (i.e. is it being used for streams before

• r on the same day as the release of the DVD/BD disc.)
• Based on which studios are licensing content: Must be content from at least [N] DECE

content studios who license such content using the technology and all endorse its adoption by DECE as an approved streaming method

• Based on how much content is being licensed: For each licensing DEC studio, at least N

titles (or % of titles they have licensing rights) within the last [n] months for the candidate streaming technology

• Market Test performed:

–

Q4’10 - .95 launch date

–

Q2’11

–

Q4’11

4 DECE CONFIDENTIAL

Market Test for Removal

• Two categories of Test: HD and SD
• Based on LASP availability: No LASP is currently licensed by a studio to use an approved

technology.

• Based on which studios are no longer licensing content: If [N] of the DECE studios that

were licensing content remove by letter support for an approved streaming technology.

• Based on how content is being licensed: No test
• Market Test performed:

–

Yearly starting in 2011

• Technology that meet the test are phased out within 1 year

5 DECE CONFIDENTIAL

Issues

• How to move to common format?

–Sunset certain technologies –Issue for legacy supported streaming devices

• Can an approved technology be sunsetted?

–To force movement to a common streaming method –Because it is a weak technology –Suggestion – Rights owners can sunset by not doing bilateral rights (issue for form license participants)

• Can an approved technology be revoked for security or
• ther issues
