# DRM Watermark: What it is and how it works

# What is DRM (Watermark) and how does it work?

**Panda Video's DRM Watermark** is an advanced video protection solution that uses **dynamic watermarking** to **prevent copying, screen recording, and unauthorized sharing**. With it, you have control over the security of the content shown to your students or users.

You can choose between **security levels**, customize the **appearance of the watermark**, and set up **individual keys** to identify each access.

## 🔐 Security Levels

### Regular Level (no extra cost)

Ideal for those who want basic security with a visible watermark and encryption in the player.

* Visible watermark in the player  
* Encryption against manipulations  
* No additional cost  

### Advanced Level (US$ 0.60 per GB of bandwidth)

Maximum protection with a permanent watermark embedded in the video, even after download.

* Permanent and irremovable watermark  
* Requires re-encoding for each playback  
* Ideal for sensitive or premium content  
* **Additional cost per GB of bandwidth consumed**

|| 💡 The higher the watermark frequency, the greater the security — but also the greater the bandwidth consumption.

||| In videos protected by DRM under the Advanced Security Level, only qualities up to 1080p will be available during playback. Higher qualities will be disabled.

### Types of movement

* **Subtle**: appears at the edges, ideal for discreet marks  
* **Dynamic**: moves across the entire screen, stopping at the center. **More secure against piracy**

## 🛡️ Security Keys

With **Security Keys**, you define what will be displayed in the watermark:

* **Private Key**: unique user identifier  
* **Line 1, 2, and 3**: name, email, tax ID, or anything else you want  

This information appears over the video during playback.

|| Platforms like Cademí, Memberkit, The Members, XGrow, and Ticto **do not require** manual key entry — it is generated automatically.

### CSV Import

You can import multiple keys at once using a `.csv` file containing:

* Private Key  
* Line 1  
* Line 2  
* Line 3  

At least the Private Key and one of the lines are required.

## Limitation of qualities above 1080p with Advanced DRM

When **DRM with Advanced Security Level** is applied to a video, only qualities up to **1080p** are available for playback. Higher qualities (such as 1440p or 4K) are automatically disabled.

This limitation ensures that the **DRM Watermark protection** loads correctly, preventing playback issues and providing a stable and secure viewing experience.
