Widevine Secures Digital Media Delivery and Playback on Archos Portable Video Players
March 14, 2008 — Widevine Technologies, a provider of multiformat, multiplatform content protection, has announced that it now secures motion pictures, episodic TV and music on Archos’ line of portable video players and WiFi digital video recorders.
The joint solution enables entertainment service providers to confidently deliver premium content to the Archos devices, while ensuring content is protected and cannot be shared.
“Archos devices provide not only the highest quality video and music experience for consumers, but also Web access for enjoying streaming TV shows, radio stations, podcasts and other protected content wherever consumers go,” said Henri Crohas, Archos founder and CEO. “Our relationship with Widevine ensures that consumers can access protected media streamed to our devices—whether on their commute to work or streaming from the Web in their living room. As the growth of IPTV and online video grows, so does the need to protect content rights and ensure a high quality consumer experience. Archos and Widevine are focused and delivering on both.”
