Zixi live streams are ingested and transcoded, then Irdeto TraceMark watermarking is applied in real-time before being packaged and distributed to downstream workflows. Irdeto TraceMark is a fully automated solution that watermarks a wide range of assets in a centralized and consistent way, replacing disparate visual marking methods and legacy manual workflows. Discovering whether watermarked content has been leaked is the other half of the equation. Combining Irdeto TraceMark with Irdeto’s Online Piracy Detection service enables immediate detection of any content leaks and tracks watermarked content to the source, enabling the rapid implementation of countermeasures. Irdeto TraceMark and associated services facilitate identification of the source of pirated content, immediately shut down illegal services and investigate and prosecute commercial violators.
