Introduction
Software premium content module (SPCM) for Intel® Viiv™ technology using Windows* Media Digital Rights Managements an Intel Viiv plug-in module that receives protected commercial entertainment content and outputs it to the home network protected by DTCP-IP. The content may be received by an Intel Viiv verified Digital Media Adapter (DMA) where it is decrypted and rendered for the consumer’s enjoyment. Within the SPCM, the content may be transcoded to a format suitable for rendering by the DMA and it may also incorporate Intel® Smart Streaming Technology. There may be several SPCMs on an Intel Viiv computer, each one being specific to a content application and possibly processing content from a different type of source, e.g., DRM, DVD player, etc.

The SPCM released with Intel Viiv version1.5.1 works with content protected by Microsoft’s (WM-DRM) software. It can make content protected on the Intel Viiv computer by WM-DRM available to Intel Viiv verified DMAs. It does not transcode, so DMAs receiving content from it must support Windows Media formats.

This version of the SPCM which will process commercial entertainment content, is fully featured, and includes a production DTCP key which operates at Microsoft’s Security Level 2000. It may be released to end users as part of a commercial product.
