1.4.2 Windows Media DRM for Network Devices (WMDRM-ND)

  • Article

DRMRI depends on the WMDRM-ND protocol [MS-DRMND]. WMDRM-ND is a protocol in the Media digital rights management (DRM) system that extends the reach of protected content to consumer electronic devices (such as digital media receivers) that are connected to transmitting devices (such as personal computers) over home Internet protocol (IP) networks. WMDRM-ND enables these receivers to render protected content while enforcing the rights specified by the content owner.

The following diagram shows the relationship between the DRMRI protocol and other protocols and services.
