VCMS/AV Detector Optimized for Windows/x86 Platforms

The Verance Copy Management System for Audiovisual Content (VCMS/AV) employs proprietary audio watermarking techniques to enable the communication and enactment of use policies for audiovisual content across a broad range of distribution channels and devices. VCMS/AV has been adopted as a component of the AACS content protection system and inclusion of the VCMS/AV Detector will be required for all Blu-ray players starting in late 2008.

To facilitate Blu-ray component and player manufacturers with the successful and timely integration of VCMS/AV technology with their products, Verance is offering a line of ready-to-use object-code libraries (“Verance Finished Detectors”) that implement the VCMS/AV Detector technology. Verance Finished Detectors have been certified by Verance to comply with the requirements of the VCMS/AV Detector specifications. There is no need for additional detector compliance validation or optimization, no source code to maintain and protect, and no requirement for specialized watermark technology or digital signal processing (DSP) expertise. Software robustness (i.e., tamper resistance) technology is not included, and must be applied to products including Finished Detectors prior to sale.

The VCMS/AV Detector Optimized for Windows/x86 is an object-code module compatible with Microsoft Windows. It provides a highly optimized solution that can be easily integrated with other software functions, enabling PC software publishers to minimize their engineering efforts and reduce time-to-market when developing AACS-compliant components and players.
