Media Instruments S.A. The New TAM Environment Content Identification Methods • EmbeddedCodes (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 beunder mycontrol ? • ServiceInformation • 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 Iidentify interactive pages ? • Will encoding be under my control ?
