Is There A Universal Method ? The New TAM Environment
13
Embedded Codes (or Watermarking) Is collaboration from all broadcasters guaranteed ? Do all codes go safely through the whole TV distribution network ? How do I synchronize all encoders ? How do I encode on-demand content ? How about content consumed through the Internet ? How many encoders will I need to install and maintain and where ? How immune is the system to human error ? What if I need to change the encoding scheme one day ? Will encoding be under my control ? Service Information How many manufacturers can I persuade to collaborate ? Will it be available in every device, model and software version ? Do the codes convey all required info to identify the content ? How many different protocols do I need to handle ? How can I identify interactive pages ? Will encoding be under my control ? The New TAM Environment Content Identification Methods
