Platform iD

Tracing streaming piracy across the distribution path

Platform iD enables programmers and channel owners, who are distributing their content internationally or nationally to multiple pay TV platforms, to identify the specific distributor from whom content is being stolen by video pirates.

This intelligence enhances the targeting of further security measures in the markets where streaming piracy is most prevalent, such as the deployment of subscriber-level watermarking by the distribution partners.

Platform iD extends the capabilities of our Global Monitoring Platform to allow the capture of indelible identifier markers, inserted by encoders and set-top boxes, so that the distribution path of streaming piracy can be traced.
