SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Solekai Systems Corp (Solekai) announced today that it is working in support of the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE), an open, cross-industry consortium of more than 70 companies dedicated to facilitating the development and operation of UltraViolet™. Solekai is acting in an advisory capacity in the design of the UltraViolet Compliance Verification Program, and also designing and creating a set of accompanying verification suites and test tools to be used for the upcoming launch of the UltraViolet ecosystem.
Set to launch this fall, UltraViolet is designed to address the growing discontent with today’s highly fragmented market for digital video by providing consumers with a new, compelling way to collect and enjoy movies and TV shows from a wide array of outlets. This ecosystem will combine the benefits of cloud access with the power of an open, industry standard – empowering consumers to use multiple content services and device brands interchangeably, at home and on-the-go.
In July, DECE announced the deployment of the licensing program and technical specifications, and initial licensees are now integrating and testing the UltraViolet digital rights locker system, which DECE will operate as a shared cloud resource. Solekai, a provider of market-leading and innovative digital video development, integration and testing solutions, is working with DECE to design and develop certain parts of the UltraViolet technology infrastructure including a set of Common File Format (CFF) generation and verification tools.
The UltraViolet CFF file format is designed to be used for downloads and streaming, allowing consumers to share content files directly among multiple brands of registered apps/devices, even as they may run different UltraViolet-compliant Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems. CFF-formatted content can be encoded and encrypted by content providers once, and then be played by consumers across a wide range of multiple platforms, creating a highly efficient and streamlined alternative to today’s vertical distribution electronic sell through (EST) systems.
DECE’s General Manager Mark Teitell commented: “Interest in UltraViolet has been robust and we are pleased to be working with Solekai’s experts to define and develop critical components of the UltraViolet compliance program, to help ensure that Ultraviolet products and services will provide the highest levels of consumer experience."
Solekai President and Founder Martin Caniff said, “We are excited to work alongside DECE to apply our extensive digital video software development and testing experience to the launch of UltraViolet.”
