Introduction

Vitrium’s video DRM allows you to protect a wide range of video file formats with 256-bit AES encryption and enables you to control viewer access with advanced DRM policies.

Vitrum supports MP4, MOV, WMV, FLV, AVI, and MKV video formats. Same as documents and images, with Vitrium’s Digital Rights Management you are able to apply dynamic watermarks, expiration controls, open limits, IP address and country restrictions.

 

NOTE: Video DRM is available only on video subscription accounts. If you wish to add it to your current subscription, please contact your account manager or email sales@vitrium.com.

• Full DRM – This is the default option and will provide you the fullest extent of DRMfor your content including the ability to control settings at the user level (user authentication, password-control, expiry date control, device limit control, and so on)
• Social DRM – This option removes all user DRM controls and there is no login or authentication mechanism required for accessing content but it will still allow you to retain control over your content such as applying watermarks to your videos. All the analytics are available for videos protected with social DRM except the username and group name.

 

Case sensitive password:  This option allows you to force login credentials to be case-sensitive

3. DRM Policy Settings:

Adding a DRM policy for a video content is the same as other document and image files with only 2 exceptions: Vitrium’s protected videos are streamed with a secure HTML5 video player and doesn’t allow end user to download it and view it offline. Thus Offline Access and Web Browser Print Limit are not available for video content.
