Discover the seamless ease of securely sharing VR content! As of now Showtime VR enables you to license, securely distribute, and protect the playback of your VR videos. Thanks to implementing Widevine DRM technology, Showtime VR adds the content encryption on top of the usual showcasing 360-degree videos and 6dof experiences simultaneously.
What is DRM and why is it so important?
Digital rights management (DRM) involves the utilization of technology to control and manage access to copyrighted content, primarily through licensing agreements and encryption. It empowers content creators such as filmmakers, musicians, and other authors to have full control over who, when and how can use their content. That's why it's widely embraced by major players in traditional video streaming like Netflix, YouTube, Warner Media, Sony, and many more. At Showtime VR, as the first in our field, we decided to implement this technology into our Library, effectively creating a safe space for our clients' VR works.
How does it work?
Our video player supports Widevine DRM on specific devices (Meta Quest 2, Quest Pro, Pico G3, Pico Neo 3 Pro, Pico 4 Enterprise, HTC XR Elite, HTC Focus 3), thereby restricting unauthorized viewing of the content. In the event of file theft, the stolen files become unusable for the thief, as they are exclusively playable on authorized devices in conjunction with a valid Showtime VR license. Furthermore, the DRM enables rights owners to establish an expiration period for shared content. Thanks to all of these features, Showtime VR Video Encryption is already used to secure VR experience in Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna.
How to use Video Encryption in Showtime VR?
The Video Encryption module is available through our Library content distribution service. Library is an integral part of Showtime VR Online but can also be used with Showtime VR Local licenses.
