NEXGUARD AND COLORFRONT COLLABORATE TO ENSURE CONTENT DISTRIBUTORS STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF TECH-SAVVY PIRATES

12/08/2020

NEXGUARD AND COLORFRONT COLLABORATE TO ENSURE CONTENT DISTRIBUTORS STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF TECH-SAVVY PIRATES IBC 2017 stand #1.C81 IBC 2017 stand #1.C81 - NexGuard, a Kudelski company and the leading provider of forensic watermarking technology and solutions, and Colorfront (www.colorfront.com), the Academy and Emmy Award-winning developer of high-performance, on-set dailies and transcoding systems for motion pictures, broadcast, OTT and commercials, today released a number of key updates to their joint solution launched in 2016, which add support for multi-layer watermarking workflows and offer enhanced scalability and automation of NexGuard forensic watermarking. The joint Colorfront-NexGuard solution protects digital content assets, particularly 4K/UHDTV and High Dynamic Range (HDR), in digital cinema, broadcast, Over-The-Top (OTT) internet entertainment and Video on Demand (VoD) applications. Demonstrations of the newly enhanced product will take place during IBC 2017 at the Nagra/NexGuard stand #1.C81 at IBC 2017 (15-19 September 2017, Amsterdam Rai, The Netherlands). The solution enables the protection for a vast range of dailies, mezzanine and master deliverables at all stages of the production and post production workflow, whilst also allowing users to track the source of illicit B2B and B2C distribution, particularly of 4K/UHDTV and HDR content. The joint solution leverages NexGuards world-leading forensic watermarking alongside Colorfront Transkoder deployments by major Hollywood studios including Sony Pictures, Disney, Fox, Paramount, Warner Bros. and Universal, and Colorfront On-Set Dailies systems used in the workflows motion picture and high-end episodic TV productions including Blade Runner 2049 (Warner), Atomic Blonde (Universal), Game Of Thrones - Season 7 (HBO), Avengers: Infinity War (Marvel/Disney), Robin Hood: Origins (Lionsgate), Moonlight (A24) and The Revenant (20th Century Fox). Security of media assets is a matter Colorfront takes take very seriously. We work closely with our media and entertainment customers to help them find new and better ways to safeguard their content, says Aron Jaszberenyi, managing director of Colorfront. Colorfront joined forces with NexGuard in 2016 to integrate their forensic watermarking technology into our On-Set Dailies and Transkoder product. Now, the full integration of the new generation of NexGuard watermarking technology means we are delivering even more advanced content protection tools, to support our clients as they continue the challenge of staying one step ahead of the pirates. New for IBC 2017, the solution has been extended to include:

Full integration of the NexGuard Manager with the Colorfront Transkoder: Users of the joint solution can easily scale up their use of forensic watermarking on pre-theatrical and pre-aired content, and store all their NexGuard watermarking job metadata in a centralized database for a 360-degree view of all watermarking activities. Support for multi-layer watermarking: Up to three levels of NexGuard G2 watermark layers can be embedded in any given pre-release or pre-aired piece of content by using different watermarking keys, which do not affect the robustness and imperceptibility of the watermarks. This feature enables watermarks to be embedded at the ingest and outgest of post-production workflows. Last year, we joined forces with Colorfront to launch a tool that protects content when it is at its most vulnerable - during the production and post-production phase said Harrie Tholen, Managing Director at NexGuard. As the industry becomes more aware of the dangers of piracy for the cr eative industries, solutions that provide a robust yet simple integration into existing workflows are increasingly essential. The latest additions to our solution provide customers of the combined Colorfront-NexGuard solution, ranging from studios through to post-production companies and distributors, with an even higher level of content protection and full visibility on all watermarking activities to secure prime assets. Based on the worlds leading forensic watermark

NexGuard forensic watermarking adds a unique, invisible identifier to video content.
