CryptoMedia Player Agent will support
VIDITY™-enabled 4K Ultra HD with HDR movie players
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that its
Cryptography Research division has signed an agreement with
Kaleidescape, Inc., the leading provider of premium home movie
players, servers, and downloaded content, to integrate its
CryptoMedia platform into the Kaleidescape Strato Movie Player, the
first 4K Ultra HD high-dynamic-range (HDR) movie player for the
home. The CryptoMedia platform will enable secure download and
playback of VIDITY™-enabled 4K Ultra HD and HDR movies.
“Kaleidescape’s products deliver an immersive home-cinema
experience, with higher-quality video and audio playback than that
of most commercial theaters,” said Cheena Srinivasan, Kaleidescape
founder and chief executive officer. “Our products deliver, store,
and play movies, including 4K Ultra HD movies with HDR, encoded at
bit rates up to 100 Mbps and play back at up to 60 frames per
second, for a truly theatrical experience in the home. The
CryptoMedia platform will enable Kaleidescape to securely download
and play back the highest picture quality VIDITY-enabled
content.”
As a trusted partner and security advisor to the Secure Content
Storage Association (SCSA), Rambus Cryptography Research has been a
key contributor in the development of VIDITY technology and
requirements. The CryptoMedia security platform supports VIDITY
requirements for 4K Ultra HD and HDR digital content by protecting
premium programming while enabling consumers to easily store, copy
and share premium digital content across multiple devices.
“Consumers continue to have a tremendous appetite to collect and
own their favorite movies and content,” said David Huerta, general
manager of the Secure Content Storage Association (SCSA). “The
promise of VIDITY and its growing ecosystem of securely-enabled
solutions, like those being developed by Kaleidescape and Rambus,
can provide consumers earlier access to the latest Hollywood
blockbusters with the highest-quality viewing experience, coupled
with unparalleled access and control to enjoy movies at any time
without an Internet connection.”
Comprised of hardware- and software-based security and services,
the CryptoMedia platform will include a secure Key Derivation Core,
the Player Agent, and Key Issuance Center for VIDITY-compliant
player and storage device manufacturers, as well as content
providers in the VIDITY ecosystem.
“Kaleidescape delivers the highest-quality Hollywood content
through its award-winning products and we are thrilled to have them
as the first customer of our CryptoMedia security solution,” said
Dr. Martin Scott, senior vice president and general manager of the
Rambus Cryptography Research division. “With this solution,
Kaleidescape users can securely access the most in-demand library
of 4K Ultra HD and HDR content available.”
The CryptoMedia platform is available to all members of the SCSA
that develop technologies for consumers to easily and securely
purchase, transfer and view content across multiple electronic
devices. The SCSA is a consortium of companies in the entertainment
industry and digital storage space that was founded by Twentieth
Century Fox Home Entertainment, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment,
SanDisk, and Western Digital.
