Video watermarking
A video watermark is an indelible pattern embedded in video content that is imperceptible to the eye. By embedding a unique watermark into video material at the time of production or broadcasting, content owners can identify copies of their material and even the source of these copies, and whether they are legal or not. Watermarking is ideal for, among others, protection of intellectual property rights.
Civolution’s video watermarking technology has been used successfully for identifying the source of illegal copies of the 2003 Academy Award Screeners and ever since.
Audio watermarking
Similar to its video counterpart, digital audio watermarking is a technology to hide information in an audio file without the information being audible to the listener, and without affecting in any way the audio quality of the original file. Its main use is for protection of intellectual property rights, especially protection against online music piracy. Other uses for watermarking technology include embedding auxiliary information or meta-data related to a particular song, e.g., lyrics, singer and other album information.
