Thomson announced
Dolby Laboratories Inc. offers the option of NexGuard,
Thomson's content security solution suite, in its digital
cinema servers. NexGuard watermarking is intended to prevent
illegal recordings of digital cinema content, as required
by the Digital Cinema Initiative's (DCI) V1.1 specifications.
This partnership enables Dolby to embed NexGuard's video forensic
watermarking solution in its digital cinema server, which
can replay DCI compliant 2D and 3D digital cinema images.
Thomson and Dolby have been working together since 2006.
"Thomson is at the forefront of digital
content security innovation and provides piracy-dissuasion
solutions for all release windows," said Jian Zhao, chief
technology officer of Thomson's Software and Technology Solutions
business, within the Technology division. "Dolby is a
global leader in media ecosystems, and we are pleased to partner
with them to offer studios a security solution for all digital
cinema screens, including 3D theaters."
NexGuard is the most broadly applicable forensic watermarking
solution in the digital entertainment landscape. Its implementation
for digital cinema exceeds DCI specifications by providing
resistance to illegal camcorder capture and compression, as
well as offering the flexibility to embed more than the required
amount of identification information.
"Dolby is dedicated to protecting the studios' intellectual
property while providing a superior digital cinema experience
to movie-goers," said John Iles, Vice President, Cinema,
Dolby Laboratories. "By working closely with a leader
in video technologies such as Thomson, Dolby is able to provide
state of the art security across its digital cinema systems."
Thomson's NexGuard has been solely designed to serve the media,
entertainment and communication industries, and delivers the
most wide-ranging line of products to track and secure digital
audiovisual content throughout production, post-production,
distribution and exhibition.
