Presentation to the Analog Reconversion Discussion Group October 22 nd /23 rd, 2003
2
Agenda Company Overview CGMS-A + V-RAM CGMS-A Component VEIL – Rights Assertion Mark Component Technical Summary of V-RAM Q & A
3
VEIL Interactive Technologies Video Encoded Invisible Light Founded as ISI in Beaverton, OR in 1986 Privately Funded Specialize in video communication systems VEIL’s underlying patent issued in 1989 VEIL Technology is used everyday throughout the US
4
Applications of VEIL Technology Adapted to a wide variety of applications Simple, inexpensive, disposable devices Complex broadcast equipment Competitive Media Reporting – Broadcast Verification System Interactive Toys Interactive Promotions
5
CGMS-A + V-RAM Concept present by Warner Bros. on May 7 th 2003 If CGMS-A is lost or stripped: All rights information is lost No indication rights information was ever present Veil encoded Rights Assertion Mark (V-RAM) adds robustness Signals that rights have been asserted and are carried in CGSM- A CCI information and, if present, the RC state Inexpensive, Simple, and Adoptable Licensing Terms
6
CGMS-A+ © line 20/21 (1,1) Vertical Blanking Interval Rights Assertion Mark A mark in the image part of AV content CGMS-A (w/RC or w/o RC) In the vertical blanking interval. “Copy Never”, “Copy No More”, “Copy Once”, “Copy Freely”, (and RC if present) A visible © is shown ONLY for illustrative purposes +
7
CGMS-A+ Logic Table *If RC bit is present, redistribution is controlled by RC bit (RC has precedence) CGMS-ARAMActionRedistribution* Copy FreelyNot presentCopying allowedRC bit, else not controlled Copy FreelyPresentEncrypted copy permittedRC bit, else not allowed Copy OnceDon’t careEncrypted “Copy No More” copy permitted RC bit, else not allowed Copy No MoreDon’t careCopy not permitted, display onlyRC bit, else not allowed Copy NeverDon’t careCopy not permitted, display onlyRC bit, else not allowed Not present Copying not controlledNot controlled Not presentPresent“Copy Never”, copy not permitted, display only Not allowed
8
CGMS-A Component Conveys the Copy Control Information (CCI) CGMS-A is modified to remark the content CCI is carried in the VBI International open standard Mature, deployed technology
9
CGMS-A Only Limitations What if CGMS-A is lost? All rights information is lost No indication rights information was ever present
10
VEIL – Rights Assertion Mark Basics Located in the Visible Portion of the video Validated by 3 rd party tests for Visibility and Robustness Asserts that CCI must be present For CGMS-A+ CCI is conveyed in the CGMS-A signaling Links the CCI to the Visible portion of the video Mature, deployed technology
11
VEIL – Rights Assertion Mark Embedding and Recovery Embedded by custom hardware in real-time prior to DVD authoring Embedding is upgradeable No requirements placed on playback devices No changes for remarking content Detected at the same point as CGMS-A CCI At the point of Analog to Digital Conversion Simple to recover Inexpensive to implement
12
V-RAM Technology Summary Amplitude modulated system Adjust luminance level on alternating lines Subtract adjacent lines to recover VEIL Probability of false detections less then 10 -12
