成人快手 signs agreement to enable "over the air" download from 成人快手 iPlayer to mobile devices
|
The 成人快手 has signed a set of agreements to allow users to download television programmes from 成人快手 iPlayer direct to their mobile handsets, via a wireless internet connection or "over the air".
听
The agreements were signed with technology and licensing companies CMLA, CoreMedia and Intertrust.
听
As a result the 成人快手 is now allowed to use OMA DRM 2.0, a digital rights management protection system developed by the Open Mobile Alliance and offer audiences the ability to download television programmes from 成人快手 iPlayer directly to their mobile device.
听
The system, which debuted on the Nokia N96, will be compatibility tested with other mobile devices with the intention to roll out on more devices in the future.
听
Matthew Postgate, Controller of Mobile, 成人快手, said: "Mobile is an extremely important part of our strategy to allow audiences to access 成人快手 content on multiple platforms at their convenience.
听
"Our agreements with CMLA, CoreMedia and Intertrust have allowed digital rights protection on full television programmes for mobile for the first time.
听
"Each of these companies plays a valuable part in helping the 成人快手 evolve its services for audiences and push the boundaries of the broadcasting industry.
听
"We are really pleased to be developing these types of partnerships with the wider industry."
听
Gary Mittelstaedt, CMLA's Policy Chairman, said: "CMLA is pleased to be joining the highly respected 成人快手 in supporting their launch of this important new service.
听
"The 成人快手's selection of the open industry standard OMA DRM for content protection and IP Datacast over DVB-H for broadcast service protection, coupled with the trust authority CMLA, is an important industry milestone that continues the momentum of these key industry specifications."
听
Willms Buhse, of CoreMedia, said: "CoreMedia is proud to be part of 成人快手's new mobile video service by supplying flexible technology for multi channel delivery, embracing the standards of OMA DRM 2.0.
听
"With the iPlayer, 成人快手 offers its high quality content to a wide audience. Moving images are king and we are delighted to support the new service with providing best practice content management."
听
Talal Shamoon, Intertrust's Chief Executive Officer, said: "The 成人快手 is one of the world's most trusted leading drivers of online video services.
听
"We are delighted that the 成人快手 has chosen an open standard such as OMA to provide DRM for its mobile services and welcome them to a growing family of Intertrust licensees in this area."
听
This development complements the 成人快手's alternative download route to portable devices which allows users to transfer programmes via their PCs.
听
成人快手 iPlayer television programmes are available for "over the air" download on the Nokia N96 and in the future other compatible mobile devices for seven days after broadcast.
听
The service is now available on the Nokia N96. For more information please go to
