With regard to metadata(added bit stream control benefits)...that tie together the compression of the video/audio bit stream....if it`s e.Digital proprietary driven segment structure..

....it will have yet again a layer of security at that level before post production encryption...as security is built into the MOS driven data structures....Content producers would benefit also if the MOS is utilized at this level.

The segment structure of the MOS will allow them(content producers) to inject added editing or inserts....just as is capable of the patented voice recorder audio methodologies....allowing each of those adjustments to utilize the security independently unlocking bits and pieces of the bit stream ....this would be prior to the first layer of post production encryption.

This layer of possible mixed use ability...specific to device/content management or end user exercised

un-lockable security.. is not a spec of the APS model...which calls for an assignment of complementing processor configuration only to the content. IMO..it would have to be a call of the content producer...

All pared down and driven through microcontroller or DSP platform....the MOS is capable of attributes of all OS`s currently in use.

IMO this platform will be tied into ie;...ARM... as a multimedia co-processor
