It is important to note that maintaining client compatibility and compliance with a given DRM schema is the sole responsibility of the device maker. In other words, the working assumption of the ExpressPlay multi-DRM service is that the receiving device has a fully compliant implementation of the DRM schema that the service operators intend to use.

The Intertrust ExpressPlay Multi-DRM Service is compliant with, and conforms to, the specifications for the following DRMs:
