IPTV has introduced a much anticipated new era in next generation video services. Content owners, publishers and distributors are justifiably concerned that their material will be protected from unauthorized users and illegal distribution. Digital Rights Management (DRM) is “a collection of technologies to technically enable the definition of and the enforcement of secure content transportation as well as secure content licensing.”1 But unchecked, content protection requirements can have an impact on video quality delivered to the viewer. This ATIS Webinar will examine issues surrounding deploying DRM technology and how to measure its impact on Quality of Experience (QoE) end-to-end.
1 IPTV DRM Interoperability Requirements, ATIS 2006
