A Consumer and Content Focused Intellectual Property Portfolio

Traditional digital media solutions are value chain centric—focused on tightly binding the video distribution systems and device to particular vendors. In contrast, Widevine has separated the dependence on the distribution system, network and device. This content and consumer centric approach enables video operators the freedom to deliver premium multimedia content to any device, anywhere, and at anytime using a single, patented digital entertainment solution.
