We're delighted to introduce a range of exciting new features that have recently been added to MK.IO, MediaKind’s latest encoding and streaming platform.

• Content Key Policies for Enhanced Control
  With Content Key Policies, you now have robust control over content access via MK.IO. Our platform supports a wide range of protection schemes, including AES-128, ClearKey, and industry-grade multi-DRM options such as Widevine, FairPlay, and PlayReady. You can efficiently manage access control by authorizing users based on claims in JWT tokens.
• Streamlined Video Encoding
  MK.IO introduces Video Encoding, a feature that simplifies encoding tasks with preconfigured Transforms. Supported encoding codecs include H.264 and H.265, allowing for both single bitrate and multi-bitrate configurations. We're continually improving this feature, with future updates set to include custom transform creation.
• Enhanced Live Events Support
  Our Live Events functionality now includes support for live encoding, enabling seamless transcoding of your live events into 720p or 1080p multi-bitrate HLS or DASH output. Users can easily access these options through the Create Live Event page or the /liveEvents API.
