Key Trends: Adoption of Digital Watermarking Increasing, Content Identification and Video Storage Optimization Challenge Industry.

Point Roberts, WA, April 25, 2008 --(PR.com)-- DigitalMediaStocks.com, an investor and industry portal for the digital media sector within Investorideas.com, features a sector close-up on Digital Media Stocks reporting on digital media trends including watermarking, content identification and video storage optimization.

“Adoption of digital watermarking by media companies and technology providers to manage and secure digital content across many new forms of distribution is increasing, while more and more media content contains the feature,” according to the Digital Watermarking Alliance.

USA Video Interactive Corporation recently announced deployment by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, (a subsidiary of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation, a News Corp company), of USVO's new copy protection software, MediaEscort(TM).

Cinea, Inc., a subsidiary of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. recently stated, “Our customers have inquired about watermark deployment within an encrypted environment, since many motion picture studios and other high-value content providers mandate encryption as a part of their overall content protection requirements,” said Rob Schumann, General Manager of Cinea, Inc.

Philips is set to offer a watermarking solution in its hospitality television sets and will have it available starting in May in a full range of HDTV sizes including 26", 32", 37", 42" and 52".

Sun Microsystems, Inc. recently announced formation of the Sun Media Advisory Board, an executive advisory board guided by Sun and leading media industry executives that is focused on identifying and solving key challenges found in today's digital media distribution industry.
