Nagra integrates QuickMark with Inside Secure

Content protection and multiscreen television solutions provider Nagra has integrated its NexGuard QuickMark watermarking solution for open devices with Inside Secure’s content protection client.

As a dynamic client-side watermarking solution, QuickMark does not require any modifications to the streaming services’ encoding, DRM or CDN systems, according to Nagra. The company says that QuickMark detection allows near real-time identification of the subscriber that is the source of the piracy and the appropriate action to stop the abuse.

“We are excited to announce the integration of NexGuard watermarking with Inside Secure’s downloadable security technology for open devices. The combined solution ensures a secure and robust implementation of watermarking, which has grown into an indispensable tool to fight illicit redistribution of content, both for sports and live premium entertainment channels,” said Harrie Tholen, VP of Sales, Nagra anti-piracy and NexGuard.

“Protecting content owners’ ever higher investments in rights such as for live sports is critically important for our customers. Our Content Protection Client, with the company’s patented Core technology, ensures that watermark payload insertion cannot be circumvented or removed, providing customers with solid protection against illicit activities,” said Simon Wilson Blake, COO of Inside Secure.
