Following this, the UltraViolet copy is tested on a mobile device. Finally, a new account is created, but in order to watch the film, another program is required. There is quick submission capability, but no ability to sign in with Twitter or Facebook, not unlike Sony. Test 3: Transformers: Dark of the Moon: Limited 3D Edition (Paramount) Yet another signup process is required here. The film is tested on both wifi and 3G and it works somewhat smoothly with both, although quality was less than stellar on either version. Love that opening prologue! But what about a mobile device? The same web address is typed in from the disc insert, all the appropriate username and password info is entered and – simple enough – Drive starts right up. Ten more minutes of downloading and installing, and finally the UV copy of Drive is playing.

A piece of software is required in order to play the UltraViolet copy.
10 minutes later and everything's good to go … kind of. Unfortunately, once on Sony's UV site, a slew of forms must be filled out using the site's mercilessly slow interface, which doesn't allow for quick form submissions. Test 2: Drive (Sony) Right inside the box is the redemption code and a web address. So it looks like Friends with Benefits won't be making a premiere on our mobile device.

Perhaps it's on the disc? The movie is popped into a BD-ROM. There's a nice little insert for the format inside the case, touting UV's many benefits, but oddly no redemption code for the streaming copy. Test 1: Friends With Benefits (Sony) This was one of the first Sony titles to host an UltraViolet cloud streaming copy. In order to best express how the UltraViolet process works, it seemed logical to test a few discs that feature this new format. But theory is one thing execution is another. The format offers users the opportunity to download the film to their computer, tablet or smartphone, or stream the movie directly from a cloud server, to their mobile device. What exactly is UltraViolet? Simply put, it's a new way to watch a piece of entertainment, be it film or TV, through a digital medium.
