We recently announced the upcoming availability of Adobe Access (formerly Flash Access) DRM protection for native iOS applications. So what does this mean for your workflow?
You can now finally reach a broad range of destination devices with a single, simple workflow, including Windows, OSX, iPad, iPhones, iPods, hundreds of Android smartphones and tablets (Android 2.2+), and televisions, including Samsung Smart TVs, TIVO and LG devices, and soon many more as part of project Primetime.
It not only saves you costs, but also provides a simple, robust DRM workflow, with a single content protection scheme.
Not convinced how this will work? Here are the steps.
1) Real-Time packaging and protection of H.264 source files with Adobe Media Server
2) HTTP delivery to target platforms (HLS to iOS, HDS to other devices)
3) License acquisition from a single Adobe Access server, no matter what the playback platform is
As part of Project Primetime, Adobe is focused on solving the fragmentation challenges video distributors are confronted with in 2012. This is the first step to provide a secure end-to-end video delivery workflow
How much does this adobe access cost? sometimes i have problems using adobe flash on my android phone. Why is that?
Apart from the price query asked earlier by vik, I would like to ask if there are any other issues of updating the software Iike with the flash player all the time, I hope this doesn’t have any of the issues that we already experience!
Where can we see sample code or sdk on this ? Can’t find example of Adobe Air iOS app with Flash Access DRM.
Hey Jens, is there somewhere I can get low-level info on how this is implemented?
Like the doco on HDS DRM is very good, detailing License acquisition process, how CEK is encrypted at each step etc. I’d like the same for this.
If streams using HLS correct, so you can publish iTunes store & stream long-form content and still comply with Apple’s requirements?
Finally – is there a need for client devices to install AIR Runtime in order to use an app using this feature?
