Overview

Anti-Piracy Pioneers
Our proven solutions and real-world experience stem from the central role Cinea staff have played in driving digital content security.

Our team pioneered one of the first digital content security solutions as part of Digital Video Express (Divx), the original provider of encrypted DVD systems for the home. Renowned for its sophisticated, layered approach to securing content, including both hardware-based encryption and forensic (serialization) watermarking, the system was deployed in over 200,000 homes and successfully protected over 700 Hollywood titles.

Building upon our team's Digital Video Express expertise and technologies, we founded Cinea in 1999 to develop world-class digital content security solutions. Today the team holds 20 critical patents in content protection and forensic watermarking.

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Dolby Laboratories, one of the industry's premier providers and a renowned technology innovator, Cinea is focused on creating anti-piracy solutions that enable new revenue streams for our customers and significantly improve the profitability of studios, distributors, exhibitors and vendors. We work closely with major associations, including the Motion Picture Association of America, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, and the Digital Cinema Initiative to drive industry-wide anti-piracy success.

Real-world Solutions
We are solely focused on providing the most effective anti-piracy solutions available in the marketplace. Customers such as The Walt Disney Company, Sony Pictures Entertainment, New Line Cinema, and Miramax Films, and vendors such as Cinram and Deluxe Media Services, use our solutions to protect content across the entertainment industry.

Essential protection component
Piracy exists largely because it has been inexpensive to steal digital content and easy to avoid capture. However, by offering robust forensic watermarking technologies, that seamlessly integrate into the content creation, distribution and playback workflow, Cinea is enabling the entertainment industry to substantially increase both the cost of illegally acquiring content and the likelihood that pirates will be caught - thereby significantly reducing the number of pirates willing and able to steal content.
