Trace content leaks back to their source

The NexGuard forensic watermarking technologies are approved by the Hollywood Studios. Our solutions are used by original content owners, broadcasters, post production houses, content aggregators, and the Academy Awards worldwide to deter and combat leaks throughout their content pre-release lifecycle. To prevent any leak from insiders, studios and content owners can apply NexGuard audio and video forensic watermarking, allowing them to trace any leak back to the specific department or third party that was responsible for leaking the content. This traceability provides a strong deterrent against leaking.

Video watermarking for editing and collaboration workflows

The award-winning NexGuard plugin enables content owners and post-production houses to seamlessly apply forensic watermarks directly from their non-linear editing software, allowing the secure exchange of pre-release assets with creative agencies or editing departments. Integrated with  Avid Media Composer DaVinci Resolve and soon Adobe Premiere.

Video & audio watermarking for post-production and distribution workflows

The NexGuard plugin embeds forensic audio and/or video watermarks to a wide range of transcoders used within post-production and distribution workflows. It supports any input/output format as well as multi-layer watermarking.
