UltraViolet is a cloud-based digital rights locker for films and television programs that allows consumers to store proofs-of-purchase of licensed content in an account to enable playback on different devices using multiple applications from several different streaming services.[1] UltraViolet also allows users to share access to their library with up to five additional people. UltraViolet is deployed by the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem,[2][3] an alliance of 85[citation needed] companies that includes film studios, retailers, consumer electronics manufacturers, cable television companies, internet service providers (ISPs), internet hosting vendors, and other internet systems and security vendors,[4] with the notable exceptions of Walt Disney Studios, Google, Amazon.com and Apple.

On January 31, 2019, DECE announced that Ultraviolet will shut down on July 31, 2019. This shutdown came after the launch of Movies Anywhere over a year earlier, along with Fox, Universal, and Lionsgate beginning to drop out of issuing new UV rights for their films during that time period.[5]

Operation

To use UltraViolet, consumers need to create a free UltraViolet account, either through a participating UltraViolet service provider, or through the official UltraViolet website. An UltraViolet account is a Digital Rights Locker where licenses for purchased content are stored and managed irrespective of the point of sale. The Ultraviolet account holder is allowed to share their library with 5 other users, which are called members.

Consumers can acquire UltraViolet rights by purchasing a physical disc that includes an UltraViolet activation code, by purchasing a movie directly from an electronic retailer (a.k.a. EST, or electronic sales through), or by using a disc to digital service (D2D). Disc to digital services allow consumers to insert a DVD or Blu-ray into their computer's disc drive, scan it to verify ownership, and then add it to their UltraViolet collection for a fee. Several retailers including Vudu and CinemaNow offer this service. Flixster had been offering a D2D service as well, but it was suspended once Fandango acquired Flixster in early 2016 and another independent movie streaming service, M-GO.[6]

Consumers can then stream or download their UltraViolet content from any participating retailer. Participating retailers are listed in the table below.

The UltraViolet digital locker does not store video files, and is not a "cloud storage" platform. Only the rights for purchased content are stored on the service. UltraViolet only coordinates and manages the licenses for each account, but not the content itself. By creating a digital-rights locker rather than a digital media storage locker, UltraViolet bypasses the cost of storage and bandwidth used when the media is accessed and passes that cost on to various service providers. In addition, by only managing the rights and licensing of content, UltraViolet insulates itself from future technological advances, allowing users to keep watching content they have purchased.

Content partners

Five of the "Big Six" major film studios and "mini-major" Lionsgate are members of DECE, and release their content with UltraViolet rights.[7] Other minor film and television studios release their programming and movies with UltraViolet rights, but are not DECE members.

The Walt Disney Studios is not a member of DECE, and does not release any of their films with UltraViolet rights. On February 25, 2014, Disney launched a competing digital movie locker system called Disney Movies Anywhere that allowed any Disney movie purchased or redeemed at any participating provider to be played using all other DMA providers. DMA providers included iTunes, Vudu, Google Play, Amazon Video, and Microsoft Movies & TV. On October 12, 2017, Disney Movies Anywhere was expanded to include movies from a number of non-Disney studios, thus forming a full-fledged UltraViolet competitor. This service is now called Movies Anywhere to reflect the expanded scope of content.

UltraViolet digital retailers

UltraViolet content is available from several movie streaming services.[8]. Some services offer downloads that can be saved to PCs, tablets, gaming consoles, or phones for offline viewing. Below is a table of all the streaming providers and the countries they serve.

Content can also be streamed over the Internet to an unlimited number of devices, depending on the content license rights held by the streaming provider.[9]

Comparison of streaming providers

Other less notable streaming providers include: Kaleidescape, Verizon Fios On Demand, Videociety, Paramount Movies (Paramount titles only), and Nolim Films.

Download capability

Some Ultraviolet streaming providers offer the capability to download movies and TV shows. They have their own proprietary video formats, and they are not cross-platform. They must be downloaded and played within their own proprietary PC, Mac, IOS, or Android apps.

The Ultraviolet Common File Format (CFF) was planned, but never launched, by DECE to allow downloaded video files to be copied between devices, stored on physical media (e.g. DVDs, SD cards, flash memory) or online backup services. They were designed to be playable on any UltraViolet authorized device (e.g. Blu-ray, streaming media player, Smart TV', or mobile device) or software player registered to the household Ultraviolet library.

A 2015 simplification of the UV ecosystem made the Common File Format optional for studios and streaming providers. It is likely that it will never be supported by a retailer.

Selected DRM technologies

UltraViolet Streaming providers may use whatever DRM technologies technologies they would like for streaming and downloads.

DECE approved six DRM technologies for use in conjunction with a proposed common file format, which was never launched.

The selected DRM technologies were:

  • Google Widevine DRM, chosen for its strong position on set-top boxes
  • Marlin DRM, chosen for its compatibility with many Connected TVs
  • OMA CMLA-OMA v2, chosen for its strong position on mobile devices
  • Microsoft PlayReady, chosen for its wide availability on PC and CE devices
  • Adobe Primetime DRM, chosen for its wide availability on PC devices
  • DivX DRM[13]

Drawbacks

Limited interoperability with popular digital movie retailers
  • The most popular digital media retailers, including Amazon Video, Google Play and iTunes never supported UltraViolet. However, UltraViolet titles can still be streamed on Apple and Android devices using third party apps from the remaining UV streaming providers.[14]
The number of UltraViolet services is decreasing.
  • Several services, including Flixster, Target Ticket, Cinema Now, and others have shut down.
Many Movies are not available with UltraViolet Rights
  • The Walt Disney Company and other smaller film studios never provided UV rights with their digital content. Instead, Walt Disney launched its own competing digital rights locker called Disney Movies Anywhere, that later became Movies Anywhere. Movies Anywhere is a digital movie locker that includes Disney content as well as content from Sony, Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, and Universal Studios. The service connects to retailers including iTunes, Amazon Video, Google Play, Vudu, Fandango Now and Microsoft.
  • MGM released a very small number of its catalog films with UV rights.
Restrictions on use
  • It is not possible to download an UltraViolet movie or television show and copy it to another device, such as a smartphone or tablet. Consumers must use a third party app to download movies on portable devices.
