Consumer electronic devices incorporating the content protection technology will be tested at Eurofins Digital Testing's facility which is situated in the Hong Kong Science Park, ideally located to support manufacturers in China and South East Asia. Cinavia identifies and protects against motion picture and home video piracy threats and has been adopted as an essential component of the content protection architecture for the Blu-ray Disc format.

The company is building on its existing extensive security testing expertise covering CI+, conditional access and DRM. The lab will provide certification and verification services to manufacturers licensing the Cinavia technology for devices such as Blu-ray Disc players, 4K Ultra-HD media players, and set-top-boxes.

Using Cinavia technology to identify and block unauthorised uses of Cinavia-protected content has been proven to significantly increase DVD and Blu-ray Disc sales. By blocking unauthorised copies, Cinavia influences behavioral change in casual consumers of pirated movies, driven by ease and convenience, to purchase the content through legitimate channels.
