constrictor
Last modified: Thursday, April 12, 2007
In DRM, a constrictor is a
software component that degrades the quality of a video
signal. When the signal is copied, it produces a low-grade analog copy making it
useless to pirates to copy and distribute. When these signals are
resampled back to high
resolution the signal will still be poorer quality than the original.
