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.

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. This solution, running on-prem or in the cloud, is used to seamlessly watermark short form content (like dailies, trailers, clips) as well as long form content (like full features and TV series). 

The NexGuard File Embedder inserts forensic watermarks into video at any point in a post-production workflow. Speed optimized for key mezzanine file formats (like ProRes and XDCAM) and interfaced easily with third-party workflow management or media asset management applications.

Embed very quickly a unique transactional watermark for ABR streaming to any device or file download (for offline review). The NexGuard solutions for B2B streaming (e.g. for streaming of dailies for review/approval by the production crew; for localization or subtitling work; or for eScreener streamed for the Academy Awards, buyers, journalists) either leverages pre-integration with leading encoders and content delivery networks (CDN) or come with a tight integration into third-party streaming servers.

The NexGuard Manager provides a centralised database for all of a content owner's NexGuard watermarking metadata and identifiers.The product simplifies the administration and tracking of forensic watermarking across pre-release workflows.

The NexGuard Detection Service is a cloud-based forensic watermark detection service hosted on AWS. Fast, highly scalable and fully automated, it meets the needs of users who require occasional file detections or continuous live detection in conjunction with anti-piracy services.
