By rssfeeds-admin The cloud-delivered service integrates Harmonic’s VOS 360 Media SaaS with Nagra’s NexGuard forensic watermarking, enabling rights holders and streamers to activate A/B watermarking — increasingly required by content licensors — with lower operational complexity and cost. The service is available as an upgrade for existing VOS 360 Media SaaS customers or as part of the Nagra Streaming Security portfolio.
By operating as a managed service on Harmonic’s platform, the model removes the need for customers to deploy and maintain infrastructure for high-volume, low-latency switching. Operators pay only for events where watermarking is required, with Harmonic managing orchestration, scalability and uptime.
“As consumers increasingly turn to streaming to watch live events, our customers need powerful security solutions that are effortless to deploy and deliver strong business outcomes,” said Gil Rudge, senior vice president, solutions and Americas sales at Harmonic. “Through our long-standing collaboration with Nagravision, we are delivering watermarking-as-a-service that eliminates complexity, lowers costs and activates only when needed.”
“As our industry continues to face high levels of live sports piracy, our customers need solutions that deliver uncompromising security to protect their investments in premium content,” said Stéphane Le Dreau, SVP, global product management and sales development at Nagravision. “Our expanded solution with Harmonic makes our well-established edge-based forensic watermarking accessible as an on-demand service that fits the operational realities of today’s major event streamers.”
The companies said the approach supports real-time identification and mitigation of illegal restreaming during live events and aligns costs with usage through an event-based billing model.
