Project description : 

The product is a just-in-time (JIT) forensic watermarking and DRM platform that enables streaming operators to watermark video content JIT and protect it with DRM before distribution. The platform includes support for DASH and HLS streaming formats and the consumer DRMs, Apple FairPlay, Google Widevine and Microsoft PlayReady. It creates and manages watermark forensic metadata (WFM) which are the unique records of all watermarking sessions. When piracy has been detected, WFM is injected into a secure detection process of the sample pirated content to track any misuse directly to the offender.
