Recognized as the best solution on the market, the first-of-its-kind watermarking solution providing flexibility and protection
AMSTERDAM, October 22 2020 – Irdeto, the world leader in digital platform security is proud to announce that their integration of Irdeto TraceMark for Distribution, a watermarking solution for content owners, with IBM’s Aspera on Cloud has won the Product of the Year Award at the NAB 2020 New York Show.
The Product of the Year Awards recognize innovative new products at the NAB 2020 Show, the premier launchpad for breakthroughs at the intersection of media, entertainment, and technology. The Product of the Year Awards acknowledge the most significant and promising new products and technologies being showcased at the event.
Launched in September 2020, Irdeto and IBM Aspera’s pre-integrated hosted service sets a new standard in the movie industry by solving a long-standing industry challenge of having two separate workflows by combining the transfer and watermarking of files into one workflow. This removes the need for costly integrations and is replaced with fast deployments that scale to any number of distributed files and downloads. With one click in the user-interface, the solution removes the complexity out of watermarking video files. Pre-integration, the option to subscribe for watermarking and/or detection services separately, and a new pay-per-use business model make watermarking accessible as a hosted service to content owners and post-production houses of all sizes. This innovative new way to produce and protect content is especially important today, as teams work remotely. The need for a secure and quick way to share edits and clips to ensure production continues seamlessly is more critical than ever before.
“It is great to see our partnership with IBM Aspera being recognized for it’s innovation with such a prestigious industry award. The integration of Irdeto TraceMark and IBM Aspera’s patented transfer technology as a hosted service allows content owners to deliver assets rapidly and efficiently across the world, while mitigating the impact of redistribution piracy”, said Steeve Huin, Chief Marketing Officer at Irdeto. “This award further strengthens our leading position in the cybersecurity industry and a trusted partner of choice”, Huin added.
