01 / Package

Encrypted media + Content ID- Package
Package encrypted DASH and HLS, publish the validated output, and keep its Content ID for playback requests.
- Authorize
Your server checks a subscription, purchase, or course enrollment before requesting a playback session with the viewer and policy you trust.
- License
DRM-X processes the device’s DRM challenge and issues a license within the signed policy, device capabilities, and permitted quality tiers.
- Play
The player downloads encrypted media from your storage or CDN. The device’s content decryption module uses the license to enable authorized playback.
Two paths. One viewing experience.
The video and its license travel separately.
Your storage or CDN delivers encrypted media. Your backend approves the viewer, and DRM-X handles the license for the device. A media URL alone does not grant permission to decrypt the video.
