Castlabs and Unified Streaming are introducing a new high-frequency key rotation solution designed to enhance content security while ensuring seamless scalability. This innovation improves the protection of premium content, including live sports and movie premieres, from piracy and unauthorized access by rotating DRM (digital rights management) at high frequency, without overloading the DRM servers.

The advancement integrates the video packager, Unified Packager, from Unified Streaming with DRMtoday, castLabs’ license delivery network, and runs seamlessly on PRESTOplay, castLabs’ video player technology. The partnership confronts the key rotation cost conundrum via the player’s unique interaction with the DRM provider.

Live streaming is a highly valuable market segment where security and scalability are critical. Implementing high-frequency key rotation safeguards premium live events and helps content owners protect their assets, while maintaining operational efficiency.
