The NexGuard audio and video forensic watermarking Software Development Kit (SDK) has been integrated into Cambria FTC, to watermark and transcode various file formats much faster than real time. The joint solution also supports resolutions up to Ultra HD, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 8K. Compatible with on-premise and cloud workflows, the joint solution can be easily integrated with other applications as a plug-in filter.

Cambria FTC is a transcoder performing high-quality, multi-frame, motion-adaptive de-interlacing. Its content-adaptive frame conversion minimizes stuttering, and an automatic scaling algorithm helps produce optimal visual quality. It supports ProRes, XDCAM, H.264, MPEG-2, DNxHD, HEVC and is 8K, 12-bit, and HDR ready; this enables it to automatically set target settings based on properties of the source file, such as automatically preserving the resolution, frame rate, interlacing, and aspect ratio of the original. In addition, it automatically adjusts the bitrate ladder used for DASH, HLS, or Smooth Streaming based on the encoding complexity of the source video. From scriptable workflows to batch transcoding jobs and multi-file workflows, the features of Cambria FTC also reduce the bitrate needed to transcode any file during the production phase or for final distribution.

Forensic watermarking is the process by which a unique, invisible serial number can be added to video or audio content. The watermark is designed to remain with the content, regardless of how it might be transcoded, resized, downscaled or otherwise altered for distribution.
