At the IBC2007 Conference in Amsterdam today, Dolby Laboratories unveiled plans to allow users of its technology to incorporate Philips CineFence advanced anti-piracy technology to protect its digital content. The CineFence system protects storing, managing and playback of digital movies and new cinema releases shown via Dolby's digital cinema solution can now be embedded with Philips CineFence forensic watermark, thus allowing the content to be traced and protected.

"Dolby is committed to providing the market with the most reliable and secure digital cinema systems," says John Iles, Vice President, Cinema, Dolby Laboratories. "We are pleased to offer the Philips solution to help deter piracy."

With Philips CineFence, the watermark pinpoints the specific location, time and date the illegal camcorder recording took place. Thus the implementation of Philips CineFence not only allows for the tracking of pirated digital content, it also acts as a severe disincentive to those engaged in this illegal activity.
