San Jose, June 4, 2024 – INKA Entworks, a leader in content security solutions, today unveiled an updated version of its advanced Distributor Watermarking product. The innovative solution now features a groundbreaking per-minute pricing model, eliminating setup fees, tech support costs, and AMC fees, making it a pay-as-you-go service. This offering empowers major studios and content creators to protect and trace their valuable video assets throughout the production lifecycle, from dailies and trailers to pre-release and post-release distribution and screenings.

Addressing the Piracy Challenge

Video piracy has long been a significant issue for the media and entertainment industry, leading to substantial revenue losses. Traditional forensic watermarking solutions often come with pricing models requiring long-term commitments and high costs, which can deter wider adoption. Content creators, media houses, and production companies frequently produce or distribute content for short durations or specific seasons, necessitating a more flexible and affordable solution.

Why Choose Per-Minute Pricing?

Recognizing the need for a cost-effective and flexible watermarking solution, PallyCon conducted extensive research to understand the requirements of various companies. The result is a tailored forensic watermarking product with a unique per-minute pricing plan, designed to cater to short-term content protection needs without the burden of extended contracts.

• Rapid Deployment: Available for both cloud and on-premise setups, deployable within an hour.

• Cloud-Based Detection: Watermark detection capabilities within minutes, ensuring quick identification of piracy sources.
