DRM for Windows Media
You can protect your content using Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology. Niagara SCX
allows you to encrypt your content with DRM technology while you encode. You can apply DRM
while encoding to a file and when broadcasting a stream. Users must obtain a license to play the
content. This license contains the key to unlock the content and the rights that govern its use.
Note: A third-party license provider issues licenses. Therefore, you must set up an
account with a third-party license provider to protect your content.
Enabling DRM function
Niagara SCX automatically detects any available DRM profiles imported on the encoding system.
If you have no DRM profiles installed, the system disables the DRM functions in Niagara SCX.
To enable DRM function in Niagara SCX:
1.
Set up an account and create a DRM profile with a third-party license provider.
 Use the Windows Media Encoder application included with the Niagara streaming
systems or available as a free download from Microsoft
(http://www.microsoft.com) to import the DRM profile.
 Restart the encoding system where you install Niagara SCX allowing the software to
auto-detect and enable its DRM functions.
2.
Import a DRM profile.
 Set up an account with a licensed provider and create a DRM profile if you do not
already have one.
 Use Windows Media Encoder to import the profile on the encoding system once
you create the DRM profile.
