BuyDRM and Whale TV Collaborate to Ensure DRM Compatibility

AUSTIN, Texas — BuyDRM, a leading provider of digital rights management (DRM) and content security services, announced today that Whale TV™, an independent TV operating system maker, will be working with BuyDRM’s MultiKey Service to ensure DRM compatibility on Whale TV models. Whale TV powers 41M monthly active TVs and works with 400+ TV brands worldwide to create smart & simple to use TVs.

The KeyOS Content Security Platform is an award-winning, studio-approved Multi-DRM and Watermarking platform for music and video. BuyDRM’s KeyOS Platform protects the assets of copyright holders and distributors with robust security services and solutions for high-value media and is trusted by many of the most prominent names in media and entertainment across the globe.

Whale TV is a licensable independent operating system for TVs and projectors that combines and organizes all entertainment on one screen, whether it’s broadcast, streamed or playing on a connected device. Whale TV also helps consumers find entertainment to watch through powerful discovery features such as AI-powered recommendations and universal search.

“A robust DRM implementation is imperative for Smart TV operating systems like Whale TV in order to secure content being delivered on the platform,” said Christopher Levy, BuyDRM CEO & Co-Founder. “Whale TV is able to utilize the MultiKey multi-DRM service as a test bench to validate and deliver Widevine and PlayReady licenses to scale around the globe.”

“BuyDRM’s history of successful commercial DRM deployments made the choice to use MultiKey Service an easy one. Having the right security measures implemented on our widespread platform is hugely important to us and our content partners,” said Raymond Chung, CTO at Whale TV. “Whale TV is now compatible with KeyOS and therefore, approved by major studios and entertainment content providers.”
