Integrated solution provides ultra-low latency, tamper-proof, and
just-in-time distribution of live video

NAGRA NexGuard Streaming is applied per session in the Eluvio Content Fabric
as part of Eluvio's end-to-end trustless content security for premium live
streaming at scale

Cheseaux-sur-Lausanne, Switzerland, and Berkeley (CA), USA - April 11, 2024
- In advance of the 2024 NAB Show, NAGRA, a Kudelski Group (SIX:KUD.S)
company and the world's leading independent provider of content protection
and media and entertainment solutions, and Content Fabric pioneer, Eluvio,
today announced the commercial launch of the industry's first integration of
NAGRA NexGuard forensic watermarking for secure, just-in-time, ultra-low
latency live streaming via decentralized networking using the Eluvio Content
Fabric.

The new capability was designed specifically to support broadcasters and
producers of live sports and premium live events to deliver ultra
high-quality and low-cost live streaming while enforcing viewing rights. The
solution enables end-to-end protection against piracy and allows for
detecting and stopping piracy per-session at source. Today's announcement is
an extension of the innovative work the two companies jointly unveiled last
year for premium on-demand video. With it, Eluvio has now integrated NAGRA
NexGuard Streaming for live video, full-length premium video, and short-form
clips.

The Eluvio Content Fabric is an open and decentralized, streaming, content
distribution, and storage network built for the third generation Internet.
The Fabric delivers live streams with deterministic end-to-end latencies
under three seconds globally to standard streaming clients (DASH/HLS over
HTTP) and provides a complete full-featured media stack to publish, store
and deliver premium live streaming, PVOD, and FAST Channel streaming at
scale, including personalization, access control, content protection and
proof of engagement. Companies, artists and brands whose premium content
distribution initiatives have been powered by Eluvio include: Amazon
Studios/MGM Studios, Dolly Parton, FOX, Microsoft, Paramount Home
Entertainment, SONY Pictures, Telstra Broadcast Services, Warner Bros. Home
Entertainment, WWE, and others. NAGRA NexGuard Streaming watermarking is
applied in the Eluvio Content Fabric as part of an end-to-end trustless
content security model and exploits the Fabric's native, hyper efficient and
low latency global streaming pipeline.

"This new forensic watermarking capability for live streams completes the
Content Fabric's trustless, verifiable, and tamper-proof content security
capabilities that prove, protect, and secure live video from its source to
global viewers with ease," said Michelle Munson, co-founder and CEO of
Eluvio. "The Content Fabric protocol ensures live video assets are encrypted
with the latest 'trustless' cryptography, backed by in-protocol blockchain
contracts, and managed by on-chain policy to enforce playout authorization
at the source. We're excited to have brought forensic watermarking to our
just-in-time, ultra-low latency live video streaming with NAGRA. The
solution is per-session, end-to-end, and scalable."

"The growth of OTT delivery of live sports is creating new piracy threats
that require greater security," said Ken Gerstein, VP Sales, NAGRA
Anti-Piracy & NexGuard. "We're proud to continue our innovative work with
Eluvio which allows for the seamless integration of our forensic
watermarking solution with the Eluvio Content Fabric to ensure that action
can be taken against piracy. Eluvio and NAGRA are committed to minimizing,
tracing and stopping content leaks at their source for premium VOD content
and now, live sports and premium live events."
