Subscriptions
The subscription model works for content owners who wants to establish a longer relationship with their customers by offering collections of content for extended viewing periods. The content owner bundles a selection of content files that are packaged together and defined by a single Product. The customer is then given access to the files within this Product for a predefined time-period. The subscription ends when the customer's access expires regardless of whether all content has been viewed.
Pay per view (PPV)
The pay per view model is similar to a standard rental store program, which allows a customer to view a piece of content for a specified time-period. The content owner can grant single or multiple accesses to the content within a time-period. The license automatically expires once the timeframe ends and further access to the content is denied.
Prepaid minutes and times
Prepaid minutes and times enable users to skip the payment step each time they play a media by purchasing in advance. When prepaid minutes run out, DRM-X automatically stops the playing and provides users with opportunity to instantly purchase more minutes or times. With prepaid minutes and times you avoid the small unprofitable charges.
Rental
As with a normal video rental shop, you can also limit the viewing of a movie to a certain rental period. You might wish to rent out a video for 7 days, where after the video needs to be rented again.
This means customers can afford to view more movies and if they find a movie favorite, they can rent it multiple times. Rental period is of course variable and can be set to anything from 1 hour to several years.
Existing Memberarea
You might have an existing memberarea with subscribers. Then you can integrate DRM-X with your existing system. After the integration, you can manage your users on your system directly.
This brings along a good opportunity to increase membership retention, because customers can no longer play the downloaded movies after their membership expires.
It works by authorizing against your current memberarea. This way a customer needs to provide a valid username and password to your memberarea before he can play a downloaded movie. Click here to see the details about integration…
