A watermarking for copyright protection of digital contents for broadcasting have to be made for a real-time system. In this paper, we propose a real-time video watermarking system which is hardware-based watermarking system of SD/HD (standard definition/high definition) video with the STRATIX FPGA device from ALTERA. There was little visual artifact due to watermarking in subjective quality evaluation between the original video and the watermarked one in our experiment. Embedded watermark was extracted after robustness testscalled natural video attacks such as A/D (analog/digital) conversion. Our implemented watermarking hardware system can be useful in movie production and broadcasting companies that requires real-time contents protection systems.

A system design and realization for real time DVR system with robust video watermarking algorithm for contents security is presented in this paper. The robust video watermarking is used the intraframe space region and interframe insertion simultaneously, and to be processed at real time on image data and algorithm is used the 64bits special purpose quad DSP processor with assembly and soft pipeline codes. The experimental result shows that the processing time takes about 2.5ms in the D1 image per frame for 60% moving image.

High-quality digital broadcasting contents are susceptible to illegal copy and unauthorized redistribution, which makes broadcasters difficult to protect valuable media assets. So, broadcasters and content providers need the technology for copyright protection of professional digital content. Digital watermarking technology is one of the most actively developed solutions for the copyright protection. This paper suggests the requirements of watermarking technology in DTV(Digital TV) environment for copyright protection and shows the developed real-time watermark embedding/detecting system for HD(High Definition)/SD(Standard Definition) video and experimental results of the system against watermark attack tests. Our watermarking system meets the watermarking requirements of invisibility, robustness and security of DTV environment.

The DVR system realization with watermarking and MPEG-4 for real time processing speed improvement is presented in this paper. For the real time processing the system is used the DSP processor, Quick DMA for data transmission, watermarking for security and MPEG-4 compression for facility. The algorithms are that the operational structure has the internal memory of processor, and the optimal realization is suitable to form the DSP processor structure r processed for the iterative operations. The experimental result shows the real time processing is improved 12% over for the D1 image in comparison with the other system.

A watermarking for copyright protection of digital contents for broadcasting have to be made for a real-time system. In this paper, we propose a real-time video watermarking chip and system which is hardware based watermark embedding system of SD/HD video. Our chip is implemented by FPGA which is STRATIX device from ALTERA, and our system is implemented by GS1560A and GS1532 devices from GENNUM for HD/SD video signal processing. There was little visual artifact due to watermarking in subjective quality evaluation between the original video and the watermarked one. Embedded watermark was all extracted after a robustness test called natural video attacks such as A/D conversion and MPEG compression. Our implemented watermarking hardware system can be useful in movie production and broadcasting companies that requires real-time based copyright protection system.

In this paper, we propose a hybrid watermarking algorithm for MPEG bitstream. Hybrid watermarking technique uses Spread Spectrum technique for I-frame and Motion Vector technique for P, B-frame. Thus, it enables all MPEG frame to be watermarked. By applying above technique, it is possible not only to protect intellectual property right but also to be robust to all kinds of attacks. And this scheme requires partial decoding of MPEG bitstream, so it can be applied to real time watermarking applications.

In this paper. we proposed a hardware(H/W) structure which can compress the video and embed the watermark in real time operation and implemented it into a FPGA platform using VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). All the image processing element to process both compression and reconstruction in a FPGA were considered each of them was mapped into H/W with the efficient structure for FPGA. The global operations of the designed H/W consists of the image compression with the watermarking and the reconstruction, and the watermarking operation is concurrently operated with the image compression. The implemented H/W used the 59％(12943) LAB(Logic Array Block) and 9％(28352) ESB(Embedded System Block) in the APEX20KC EP20K600CB652-7 FPGA chip of ALTERA, and stably operated in the 70㎒ clock frequency over. So we verified the real time operation, 60 fields/sec(30 frames/sec).

This paper presents a H/W module that executes a fragile watermarking algorithm. The module inputs sequentially quantized DCT values, encodes watermark and then outputs watermarked DCT coefficients. A fragile and invisible watermarking algorithm is adopted, modified and enhanced here to reduce H/W size and image degradation. The module can be directly inserted between DCT quantizer and VLC encoder in wide spread JPEG/MPEG encoder. The module is expected to be used for real-time authentication purpose in DVR(Digital Video Recorder) or digital cameras.
