VCMS/AV Desktop Verifier v2.0

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.

The VCMS/AV Desktop Verifier is a standalone software application that lets you detect and display VCMS/AV watermark payloads in real-time from input audio streams using a standard desktop computer. The program analyzes audio input as a real-time stream to the line-in port or other audio input devices that your computer supports.

The VCMS/AV Desktop Verifier gives professional service providers a convenient and reliable method to confirm the presence of VCMS/AV watermarks in a particular piece of content. Use it on any Macintosh or Windows computer where verification of the VCMS/AV watermark is desired.
