The NexGuard Pay-TV and Streaming solution embeds a subscriber-specific forensic watermark in a managed pay-TV client device.
The technology is supported by all the major chipset vendors and requires no additional video processing on the head-end side.
An ability to determine the source of a content leak quickly and efficiently is critical to fighting commercial piracy, not least because it enables you to take appropriate anti-piracy action.
The NexGuard Pay-TV and Streaming solution is architected to be robust and can be deployed across a wide range of devices, including HD, 4k/UHD, and HDR. It protects across all output interfaces – both analog and digital – and from any video source: broadcast, video on demand, and OTT. The solution is supported by the cloud-based NexGuard Detection Services for automated, blind detection.
NexGuard Network ID
This forensic watermarking solution traces the distribution path of any pirated content. Business decisions on anti-piracy actions and budget become more informed. They’ll be based on concrete facts, rather than opinions, about which distribution systems, paths, and affiliates the content is pirated from.
The solution is seamless and flexible, designed for linear broadcast and live events. It is approved and integrated by playout centers and operators in their infrastructure and equipment. The solution also facilitates simple and rapid detection. From as little as three minutes of video, piracy can be detected.
