Free to watch video content that does not require a PIN to access can be included on the
same disc as securely restricted content.
DVDpay uses a worldwide patent-pending secure access system on
each DVD produced, this technology gives you the ability to bill your customers for watching
certain footage on your DVDs.
This secure access system gives
each viewer their own unique PIN that will not work for other viewers. With this advanced
technology on your discs you know that the film content is safe and
revenues maintained.
The PIN can be provided in exchange for information or at a charge to the user. Payment
can be taken simply and automatically by text message,
premium rate telephone line or automated credit card line. These payment methods are cost
effective mechanisms for microbill payments.
Once a customer has purchased a PIN they can
access the DVD as many times as they wish, making DVDpay the only secure DVD access method
that offers customers a value proposition whilst maintaining the security of film content held on a DVD.
The Consumer Experience
DVDpay provides an easy to use, intuitive experience for the viewer:

Viewer users their landline or mobile telephone to request a PIN from the
DVDpay PIN allocation server.
The DVDpay server automatically knows the film title
the viewer is attempting to watch and calculates the correct unique PIN for the viewer.

by the DVD player in real time and if correct the premium film begins to play automatically.
