USA Video Interactive Corp. (USVO) announced today that MediaSentinel, Version 1.0, a suite of software based upon the Company’s proprietary patent-pending core content protection technology, has been released and is available for licensing.  MediaSentinel will be useful to a variety of interests, allowing each of them to embed information within video content, such as information about its ownership, date of transmission, the unique IP (Internet Protocol) address of the recipient, etc.  MediaSentinel watermarks are invisible to human perception, allowing the integrity and quality of video content to be maintained.  At the same time, MediaSentinel watermarks are extremely robust and highly resistant to a wide variety of image processing attacks that pirates might use in an attempt to remove the watermark.

•

A MediaSentinel Reader software application used to evaluate, decode and extract the identifying information from content encoded with the Generator.
