How It Works

Technical Overview

D3 System Technical Overview

• Extensible - D3 can be easily integrated with other corporate systems through well-defined component interfaces,
  meta-data structures and middleware products.
• Scalable & Reliable – D3 is built on top of a highly available architecture with many layers of redundancy.
• Simple - D3 requires little or no training to use.
• Streamlined - No downloads to your computers – all on demand – does not slow down computer performance and fill up drives.
• Efficient – a D3 Solution reduces, if not eliminates, the costs and delays of DVD or tape duplication and couriers.
• Cost Effective – less demand on internal resources including technical support.
• Safe & Secure – Outsiders do not enter company’s network – all logic and ingestion is processed on remote DAX servers

• Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect windows media files. SSL (secured socket layer) is implemented for all SOAP communication between set-top box and server.
• Third Party HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a specified method from Intel for protecting copyrighted digital entertainment content that uses the Digital Video Interface (DVI) by encrypting its transmission between the video source and the digital display (receiver). The video source might be a computer, set-top box, or digital versatile disc (DVD) player, and the digital display might be an liquid crystal display (LCD), television, plasma panel, or projector.
• Visible Watermarking
