USA Video Interactive Upgrades Forensics Solution for Movies and Premium Programming (OTCBB:USVO) USA Video Interactive Corp.
Responding to Studio Demand, the New Watermarking Appliance Also Assists in License Management and Content Activation
NIANTIC, CT-Dec 18, 2008 - USA Video Interactive Corporation recently announced that it is upgrading its MediaEscort on-demand watermarking system. In response to customer input, USVO is increasing the capabilities of the MediaEscort application to support modular DRM packaging.
MediaEscort's flexible infrastructure allows for DRM packaging of the video content after being watermarked in a modular way. This DRM enabled content needs to be activated or registered with the license provider before it can be distributed to the consumers.
MediaEscort's on-demand watermarking system automatically and seamlessly embeds SmartMarks, imperceptible forensic information in every frame of video content, during Internet delivery to protect against piracy. Currently employed by a major movie studio, MediaEscort is a lightweight server based application generating full frame SmartMarks in marketing delivery channels.

All Press inquires, please call 739 - 8030 ext. 4.

MediaEscort / Technical details:
In MediaEscort 1.2, this process was integrated with the DRM encoding module itself. Although the current mechanism allows for efficient processing of the video content ready for consumer distribution, it has certain drawbacks. Each license provider presents a unique way to register or activate the content. This limits the choices for the content owner to easily switch between license providers for various business/technical reasons. MediaEscort 1.5 eliminates this problem seamlessly.
Building on the infrastructure of the ME core, the license activation of the watermarked content is moved into its own process pipeline. This allows for the same administration module to configure the license activation process, which eventually is controlled by the monitor component in a completely seamless way. The process parameters for the activation can be configured for different license providers only once and then this configuration can be attached to any DRM pipeline with the full capability to switch between different providers online. Also, depending on the license provider's requirements, alternate configurations with different process parameters can be created and similarly attached to the same DRM pipeline, retaining the full capability for switching between them online.
This enhancement takes MediaEscort's already powerful infrastructure to a new level, fully capable to serve the changing business needs.
