Setup the Bitmovin Player with Conax

If you are not sure what DRM is, you want have an overview and get started, please have a look at our DRM Setup Guide.

Nearly every license provider, such as Irdeto, EZDRM or Conax, requires a few special information being sent to the DRM license server, or responds with a proprietary format. Instead of integrating a few license providers into the core of our player, we decided to provide necessary configuration options via the player configuration.
