Project DReaM

Initial Contributions:

DRM - OPERA
An interoperable DRM architecture implementing standardized interfaces and processes for the interoperability of DRM systems. The DRM-OPERA architecture is independent of specific hardware and operating systems and is not restricted to specific media formats. It enables user-based license provisions as opposed to the situation today where licenses are assigned to devices.

Java Stream Assembly
Launch pad for video delivery servers using the Java Stream Assembly (JSR-158) API, which reduces the complexity in building and managing video streams to be delivered over access networks. Multiple vendor components can be plugged in using the Java Stream Assembly API for delivering broadcast, on-demand, and interactive TV streams.

Sun Streaming Server
Designed to serve standards-compliant media streams (audio/video) over IP using open-standard protocols such as RTP (Real Time Transport Protocol) & [Real Time Streaming Protocol --posting soon to OpenSolaris.org] Sun Streaming Server (SSS) is compliant with the 3GPP [The 3rd Generation Partnership Project] and ISMA [Internet Streaming Media Alliance ] specifications. While the server is agnostic to format the media, the streams served by SSS are generally encoded using the MPEG-4 codecs. It supports MPEG-4 and QuickTime out of the box.
