This distributor watermarking service helps those film studios and production houses that are worried about their premium content leaking at the post-production & Pre-release stages.

The PallyCon Distributor Watermarking service inserts recipient information in the form of invisible metadata in video frames that helps track down the source of content leak when a video asset is distributed through multiple medium. The PallyCon Distributor Watermarking detection service extracts the watermark from the file and matches it against its unique watermark database to identify the source from where it got leaked.

The PallyCon Distributor Watermarking service supports pre-integration with Multi-DRM for enhanced protection, mezzanine file format, like AVC, HEVC, VP9, ProRes, and XDCAM, and delivery formats like MP4, MOV, and MXF.

It has an easy interface for smooth content distribution workflow. The watermarks are robust, imperceptible which stand secure against piracy attacks like re-encoding, resizing, cropping, and filtering. This tool also allows visible watermarking.
