Microsoft plans to give broadcasters a peek at the next version of its Silverlight streaming media technology this week as company executives show their wares at a major global media show.
Silverlight 4 will add native multicast support as well as offline digital rights management, Microsoft said in a statement Tuesday. The glimpse of Silverlight 4 will come at the International Broadcasting Conference, which starts Friday in Amsterdam. The DRM support will come via Microsoft's PlayReady technology.
