The following features are available in this INPLAY sample DRM player: * INPLAY communicator: Allows users to communicate about the movies, travel or life in general while traveling and watching a movie over local network. This unique feature allows users to communicate with other passengers or communication with the flight crew for the purpose of service requests, personal announcements, etc. This is all possible without access to the Internet and the user can opt out of using this service and communicate over a private channel with only the users they trust. * INPLAY adaptive download: Allows users to download a movie and watch it offline without any infrastructure at all.

CineWiz – The Magic of Understanding Any Movie, Instantly Ever found yourself watching a movie but not understanding what’s going on?
