Proof Vidipath coming to PS3 means updated DLNA and Playready embedded - Blu-ray Forum

Sony paper just released at the FCC DSTAC (Downloadable Security Technical Advisory Committee)

Notice in the picture on page 12 that the PS3 is pictured. This confirms Vidipath is coming to the PS3 and I assume the PS4 as it's a more DRM secure hardware design. This means the PS3 DRM core and player are being rewritten to support Vidipath and Playready...updated DLNA to Vidipath DLNA 2 standards. See here: http://vidipath.com/guidelines/ Everything required in the Vidipath Guide should be supported by the PS3 and I suspect HEVC also. The PS4 should get Vidipath, Playready 3.0 and HEVC in addition to being a 4K blu-ray player and media hub.

Summary: Passage is a proposal to the FCC that implements CA (Legacy or Downloadable) and adds a second DRM for use as DTCP-IP and more. I.E. It supports Vidipath or CA with future possibles like selling media that has already been recorded on a DVR. (Sony has a patent for removing commercials by Brant Candelore)

What's stressed by Sony is that it requires little to no change to current hardware and is a more efficient DRM requiring fewer CPU resources.

Sony is definitely supporting Vidipath, page 12 bottom path (Traditional Cable TV with the DLNA CVP2 FCC mandate where a DVR with tuners converts a RF channel to IPTV streams )
And Playstation VUE (center path) which is all IPTV direct from a cable modem . The latter is the future but Cable can't currently support more than a small percentage of their customers going all IPTV. This limits Playstation Vue to certain markets that can support Premium Customers. This will change in the next 3 years.
Top path is RVU which the PS3 already supports.

Comcast signed an agreement for Sony's Passage June 2015 but it was first proposed by Sony Dec 2003. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...-71247697.html

I've already shown on NeoGAF the following:
Playready coming to the PS3 and PS4
PS4 and XB1 hardware to support being a media hub (includes 4K blu-ray support)
HTML5 browser used as RUI for Vidipath (start at last post and walk backwards)
Connected home starts when Vidipath platforms become ubiquitous
