Kantar Audio Watermarking

Hybrik supports Kantar audio watermarking within Transcode tasks. To use Kantar audio watermarking, you must first acquire a license from Kantar Media.

In order to get a watermarking embedding license, please contact Kantar Media support at https://www.kantarmedia.com/watermarkinghelpdesk with following information:

  • Product name and version
  • Customer name
  • Country
  • If different, country of broadcast
  • Channel(s) to be watermarked

Configuration​

Kantar watermarking can be added as a filter to a Hybrik transcode task. You must provide the credentials supplied by Kantar Media; if a results_file location is provided, the Kantar watermarking log will be written to that location.

Here is an example audio target with Kantar audio watermarking enabled:

    {
