Live Event Broadcasts

AUTHENTICATE EVERY LIVE BROADCAST AT THE LENS.

Lightmark embeds dynamic optical signatures into live video captures before the signal leaves the camera. Any downstream platform or rights holder can verify source authenticity in real time — detecting piracy, unauthorised redistribution, and AI-generated manipulation at the point of origin. Designed to resist forgery. Built for live environments where every second counts.

The problem with live content

Existing DRM and watermarking solutions protect the delivery pipeline — not the capture. The moment a live feed is screen-grabbed, re-encoded, or AI-manipulated at source, no downstream system can distinguish real from fake. Pay-per-view piracy and unauthorised live streaming cost broadcasters billions annually, and the attack surface grows with every new streaming platform.

Authentication at capture

Lightmark's optical layer embeds imperceptible dynamic signatures at the moment of capture. Signatures persist through compression, transcoding, and redistribution across any platform or device. Broadcasters, OEM device makers, and rights holders verify provenance without interrupting the live production workflow.

Real-time detection

Unauthorised streams are flagged within seconds of broadcast start. Rights enforcement teams receive origin data, capture timestamp, and redistribution chain — enabling immediate action during live events rather than post-broadcast forensics. Deepfake substitution and AI-generated footage are identified before they reach audiences.
