Content Access Control–Triplet Key

An important feature of the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile solution is to limit the consumption of Cisco StadiumVision Mobile encoded content to authorized mobile applications. Consider the following situation:

Content Owner A (e.g., sports team) wishes to use the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile solution to deliver live camera feeds to fans throughout a venue during the team’s home games. Content Owner B (e.g., entertainment company) plans to host events at the same venue at a different time and also wishes to deliver live feeds to their fans. The two Content Owners each want to limit content consumption to their chosen and therefore authorized, Application Developer. The reasons for needing to limit content consumption to authorized mobile apps are many. For example, the app might need to be purchased or it may be sponsored by an advertiser. As a result, Cisco StadiumVision Mobile video and data streams configured for Content Owner A’s mobile app must not be consumed by Content Owner B’s mobile app and vice-versa.

The Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Streamer includes a Triplet (Venue/Content Owner/App Developer) in each announced session. Only mobile apps with the identical Triplet will be able to discover Cisco StadiumVision Mobile sessions and consume the associated content. The Streamer may be configured to support multiple Content Owner and App Developer combinations, though only a single Triplet may be active at any one time.

The Venue, Content Owner, Application Developer (triplet key) settings are critical to enabling content consumption on mobile devices. The Streamer settings must match those used by the App Developer for content to be discovered and consumed by a mobile app. App Developers must be notified of a change in Venue name so that their app may be updated. Conversely, if the App Developer has already deployed the app, App Developers must also be notified if the associated Content Owner/App Developer setting on the Streamer is modified.

NOTE - The Stadium Operator is responsible for correctly configuring the Streamer and working with Content Owner/App Developer to enable content consumption. The Content Owner/App Developer paring must match the values hard coded into the specific SDK for the App Developer contracted for a particular venue.
