Harmonic adds per-event watermarking for live streams
Nagravision and Harmonic have partnered to integrate Nagravision's forensic watermarking into Harmonic's cloud streaming platform. The resulting cloud-native solution allows streamers to activate watermarking protection for live events on a per-event basis.
Key Takeaways
- Nagravision and Harmonic have integrated forensic watermarking into Harmonic’s cloud streaming platform.
- The solution is cloud-native, not tied to a separate on-premises workflow.
- Streamers can activate watermarking protection on a per-event basis.
- The watermarking can be enabled only when needed for live events.
Why It Matters
The immediate change is operational: streamers using Harmonic’s cloud platform can apply forensic watermarking only to selected live events instead of blanket-protecting all streams. That makes watermarking more targeted inside the delivery stack, with Nagravision supplying the protection layer. For the broader ecosystem, the partnership shows watermarking is being packaged as a cloud-native feature rather than a standalone security project. What to watch next is whether Harmonic or Nagravision discloses which live-event customers adopt the per-event workflow.
