New release (R108) of Axinom Mosaic is available!

In this iteration of authentication improvements for the Management System, we added support to configure Custom Branding for the Identity Providers that are used by the Management System. This means you will be able to control the Display Name, Display Icon as well as the display order for the external Identity Providers. As part of the same initiative, we've now improved the User Experience of the Admin Portal to find all Identity Provider related configuration under a single station.

Encoding audio

Did you know that with Axinom DRM you can also protect pure audio files?

People usually think, DRM (like Widevine/PlayReady/FairPlay) is about video protection. It is correct, but it is NOT ONLY about video. If you have an audio file (say, MP3), you can feed it to Axinom Encoding, which will convert it to MPEG DASH format and encrypt the audio track according to DRM standards. If you provide no video input, there will be no video track in the output DASH manifest.

You can now use all regular video players to play this asset. In UI it makes sense not to display the video area, as there is no video. But the audio track will play. All the same approaches for an entitlement message ("token") acquisition and sending it to a DRM License Service apply.

Try it out yourself.
