Southwest Airlines has launched a series of enhancements across its in-flight entertainment portal in conjunction with content services partner Global Eagle.
The improvements give passengers app-free access to content streamed direct to their smartphone, laptop or tablet, including DRM protected Hollywood movies and TV series
Global Eagle uses the encryption standard – Common Media Application Format (CMAF) – to reduce encoding requirements so that multiple DRM technologies can be used on a single video file.
As part of the series of updates, Global Eagle is introducing Cinemagraphs to the airline portal, displaying an animated movie poster to further engage customers.
