Enabling watermarking

Overview

OpenTV Video Platform is integrated with QuickMark, the client-side watermarking solution that is offered as part of NAGRA's Security Services Platform (SSP).

This is enabled or disabled by NAGRA per deployment. To enable watermarking, please contact your NAGRA representative.

Prerequisites

For QuickMark watermarking to work end-to-end, the following SSP services must be deployed/enabled:

• NexGuard QuickMark service
• Watermark detection service

Enabling QuickMark watermarking

In addition to enabling watermarking in Platform, you need to:

1. Set a usage rule profile for watermark-enabled channels to enable any restrictions required by content owners (e.g., disable AirPlay) and apply it to the appropriate channels. See:
   • Managing usage rules (live)
   • Usage Rule Profiles (OpCon)
   • Adding Technical channels (OpCon)
2. Indicate the channels/content for which watermarking is to be enabled. You can do this:
   • At ingest, by setting qmWwaterMarking to true in the relevant entity's SecurityInfo block. See:
     • technicalChannel (editorial-based)
     • technicalContent (editorial-based)
     • technicalChannel (technical-based)
     • technicalContent (technical-based)

   • In OpCon, by editing the appropriate technical channel or content.

     

     Re-ingesting the content will overwrite any changes made to the watermark flag that you have made in OpCon.

3. Enable watermarking in your client application. See Client-side watermarking.
