AUDIO PROCESSING

Features The DAW77/88/99 are audio watermarking embedders for Audience measurement (NexTracker™) or Second Screen applications (SyncNow™) or both of the services. Developed in corporation with Civolution this powerful card can encode/watermark up to 8 mono channels in the AES/EBU domain The powerful quad speed audio bus makes this card ideal to process embedded domain audio by use of a quad speed enabled Master Card.

Up to 8 channels of inaudible Civolution based watermarking including time codes and channel or content identifiers SyncNow™ watermark embedding for Second screen applications in xAW010 NexTracker™ watermark embedding for Audience measurement in xAW100 NexTracker™ watermarking Digital audio watermarking hide information in an audio file without the information being audible to the listener, and without affecting in any way the audio quality of the original file. Its main use is for protection of intellectual property rights, especially protection against online music piracy.

Other uses for watermarking technology include embedding auxiliary information or meta-data related to a particular song, e.g., lyrics, singer and other album information.

Digital watermarking embeds inaudible and imperceptible data, the payload, into a media asset to give it a persistent identity. This data can later be extracted and interpreted by devices to identify, manage or monetize the asset.

Audio and video watermarking finds a broad range of applications. A media asset can be identified with a catalogue number and timecode for broadcast verification. A radio or TV signal can be identified with channel and precise airing details to facilitate accurate audience measurement.

Watermarking can be used as serial numbering for a series of copies for a given piece of content and act as a deterrent against piracy and a forensic analysis tool.

Forensic watermarks and transactional watermarks can be linked to specific information on the transaction or recipient (i.e. a person) and operates like serial numbering of instances or copies for a given content. Audio and video forensic marking solutions can be customized to adapt to different workflows and distribution channels e.g. pre-release, digital cinema, pay-TV, internet.

On the other hand, broadcast monitoring and audience measurement require using the watermark payload to identify what the content is, or content version, and include timecode information all along the content to enable the identification of the exact abstracts which are being aired or published.

SyncNow™ watermarking Civolution’s state-of-the-art content identification platform allows broadcasters, content producers and interactive application providers to offer time-synchronized-tomedia applications such as ad(re)placement, live voting and content-related overlays. Based on Civolution’s powerful watermarking and fingerprinting technologies, it allows for accurate and rapid synchronization of interactive content.

Smart TV Integrated application in connected media devices such as smart TVs. It allows content (re)placement or precise triggering of events based on identifying the viewed content. Triggered events are transparent to any type of distribution or time shift.

2nd Screen allows for the automatic identification of the TV channel being watched and the content being played. Upon identification it enables accurate time synchronization between content played on TV and mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones. The real-time interactivity automatically handles distribution delays and supports time shifted viewing.

Content triggering service: provides real-time recognition of broadcast content such as advertisements, movies, TV series, music, and more. By automatically notifying application providers of what content is airing on which channel, the service allows for the synchronization of value-added functionality such as content-specific background information, hyperlinks, and synchronized social newsfeeds, all within the developer’s second screen or smart TV applications.
