ViewRight Ultra is a cross-platform white label video services app. It's designed to provide a device authentication mechanism at initial startup, a dynamic display of available content based on the device profile, options to download individual titles and a choice of streaming and local playback capabilities, and where licensing options permit, offline consumption from local storage.
All device integrity and content entitlement verification is undertaken by the embedded ViewRight Web core DRM functions, with the ViewRight Secure Player environment supporting HLS and DASH content formats and accommodating transport, sample-based and Common Encryption (CENC) modes. The ViewRight Ultra app is supported by Verimatrix' cloud-based VCAS and Verspective infrastructure.
