Post-production
and duplication laboratories already use
Nextamp’s technology as a value added service for rights
owners. The solution first addresses studios
for circulation of dailies, promotion of feature films prior
to theatrical release and distribution of masters to airlines,
broadcasters and VoD service operators. It also applies to
DVD editors for press kits prior to movie
releases for home entertainment.

NexMaster
The NexMaster solutions address file based and tape based
formats in SD or HD (720p, 1080i) resolution. Each Master
copy is processed to include an invisible and robust digital
watermark ID.
The watermark embedding is performed in non-compressed video
format for tapes (e.g. BetaSP, DigiBeta, HDcam, DVCpro, D5)
or files (YUV, DPX, Targa, Cineon). Furthermore, compressed
video formats (MPEG2, H.264) can also be processed without
need for decoding the file, hence facilitating the generation
of multiple copies after a single encoding.
NexScreener
The NexScreener system is a complete solution to embed a unique
ID in the essence of each DVD copy and to drive individual
DVD-R burning and label printing with a serial number. The
operator can easily import lists of recipients and define
duplication projects by batches of DVDs. The processing is
fully automated and the system is scalable to integrate multiple
duplication robots. The watermark embedding is performed directly
within the MPEG-2 format.
NexInvestigator
Thanks
to the NexInvestigator, the invisible watermark can be retrieved
from severely degraded pirate samples - e.g. a DivX file on
the Internet or a DVD on the black market - even in case of
resolution change, rotation, cropping, A/D conversion and
compression.
