Subscriber Watermarking

When tackling piracy, speed is of the essence. In live environments, and increasingly for linear and on-demand programming, the ability to act quickly is a game-changer. 

FMTS Subscriber Watermarking swiftly pinpoints piracy sources, enabling immediate action to be taken. It is used in tens of millions of devices and applications to protect some of the world's most valuable content.

Watermarking content at subscriber level identifies the specific subscriptions that are being used to illegally re-stream content. As soon as you've identified the accounts, you can revoke access, switch off the content that pirates rely on – or even use the information to send marketing messages to the pirates' audience.

Rapid

Everything about FMTS watermarking is fast. It extracts watermark information and identifies accounts in seconds – critical in a live environment where events (such as boxing matches) can last just a short time.

It's also quick and easy to implement. In most cases there's no requirement for major infrastructure investment and watermarking can be deployed in a matter of days.

Robust

Pirates are smart, innovative and often well-funded. They know the content they are stealing is protected, and will try to circumvent it using cropping, transformation, collusion and a host of other techniques. FMTS Subscriber Watermarking stands up to whatever pirates throw at it, maintaining watermark integrity regardless of attempts to bypass or break it.
