2. How It Works
2.1 Content Preparation
Content owners upload their digital assets to the MediaCloud platform. The content is then encrypted using advanced algorithms, ensuring protection against unauthorized access.
2.2 License Generation
Once the content is encrypted, a unique license is generated for each user or device. This license defines the rules for accessing the content, including playback rights, restrictions, and expiration.
2.3 Secure Delivery
The encrypted content, along with the generated license, is delivered securely to the end-user’s device through the integrated CDN. This ensures a seamless playback experience while maintaining content security.
2.4 Playback
Upon attempting to play the content, the user’s device requests the license from the DRM server. The server validates the request and provides the license, allowing the device to decrypt the content and initiate playback.
2.5 Monitoring and Reporting
The system continuously monitors content usage and collects analytics data. Content owners can access this data to analyze viewership patterns, compliance with licensing agreements, and overall engagement.
