Flexible Security for iOS Devices
Apple FairPlay Streaming (FPS) is the hardware integrated DRM option that provides secure video playback within the streaming subsystems on Mac desktops, all iOS/iPadOS devices and Apple TV. Using the support of an FPS DRM service, video service operators and content owners can securely distribute premium content, including Ultra HD, 4K, and HDR, to Apple devices of all types.
Using FPS within a video service enables flexible models for monetization of live and on-demand content while protecting the content from unauthorized use and piracy. One of the collateral benefits of FPS protection is extending the range of secure service reach through casting and redirection using Apple Airplay.
