ExpressPlay Multi-DRM Service –
DRM Client Compatibility

The Intertrust ExpressPlay Multi-DRM Service is compliant with, and conforms to, the specifications for the following DRMs:

Apply Fairplay logo
Microsoft Play Ready logo
Marlin DRM logo

It is important to note that maintaining client compatibility and compliance with a given DRM schema is the sole responsibility of the device maker. In other words, the working assumption of the ExpressPlay Multi-DRM Service is that the receiving device has a fully compliant implementation of the DRM schema that the service operators intend to use.
