Remote HTML configuration via standard web browser
Security features:
Continuous self monitoring including system status information and error/warning reports via e-mail; uninterruptable power supply monitoring

Applications
The system is typically located in the studio, at a playout center or at the transmitter site – with full remote control for administration and data provision. The remote web interface featuring Fraunhofer´s in-place-editing technology for quick and convenient system configuration can be accessed through any modern web browser.
The output signal of the Fraunhofer DRM ContentServerTM R5 carries the complete DRM Multiplex (FAC, SDC, MSC) in MDI/DCP format according to ETSI TS 102 820 (Multiplex Distribution Interface) and ETSI TS 102 821 (Distribution and Communications Protocol). This DRM Multiplex can be fed simultaneously to any number of DRM Modulators (optional SFN operation) and monitoring stations.
Availability

The Fraunhofer DRM ContentServer R5 is available in three editions. All editions share all the basic DRM functionality, but each edition provides a different level of system functionality by default. All editions (option packages) can easily be extended by additional features at all times.
The system as a complete package – including hardware and specific customer support services – is available from Fraunhofer’s OEM partners.
The complete system is also available as DRM+ solution.
