Rimage Video Protect

Rimage Video Protect™ Anti-Rip Technology:
Rimage Video Protect provides customers enhanced copy protection, while incorporating updated anti-rip tools that always keep customers one step ahead of piracy.

Rimage Video Protect (RVP) is a fully integrated copy management option for DVD video and is
exclusively available on Rimage Producer™ III and Professional™ series of disc publishers. Content creators, distributors and service bureaus no longer have to choose between the convenience of on-demand production and the security of disc protection. Now, full strength DVD video protection is available on-demand for DVDR’s made on Rimage disc publishing systems.

Rimage Video Protect offers an optimized combination of strong copy protection with very high playback compatibility. Copy controlled discs have full DVD player playability matching that of unprotected DVDR's. Menus, special features and extras remain unaffected. The original media content is not modified and playback quality remains unaffected. Protection is achieved by introducing copy control encapsulation in areas of the disc that are not read by DVD players during playback. RVP is a passive software solution that encapsulates data files on a DVD disc causing access to the content by common ripping programs to be controlled. No software is ever installed on the playback PC.

Rimage Video Protect Positioning Summary:
Rimage Video Protect is ideal for anyone creating video DVDR’s wanting to protect against unauthorized duplication. RVP’s proprietary DVD copy control technology helps film studios and production companies to protect their assets. Copy controlled discs have full DVD player playability matching that of unprotected DVDR's. Menus, special features and extras remain unaffected.

Rimage Video Protect
Rimage Video Protect is a software only solution that protects DVD video discs against unauthorized duplication.

Extremely Compatible Playback
Rimage and Intellikey labs continue to test the latest versions of Rimage Video Protect on the latest players. Our goal is to attain 100% playback on all players.

Our last report from Intellikey indicated that Rimage Video Protect is playable on 100% of all players tested, including Microsoft® Xbox 360. As new players are released, and new versions of RVP are developed, we will continue our testing efforts and our goal of 100% playability.

Pay-per-Burn Technology
Rimage is using an innovative USB dongle-based pay-per-burn system to provide maximum flexibility and convenience for any user in any work environment. These dongles can be purchased from your normal Rimage consumables supplier.

Rimage Video Protect is a feature in Producer Software Suite version 7.5 and later. Rimage Video Protect is licensed on a per disc basis, consuming one protection credit for every disc with RVP. RVP is purchased separately from the Rimage publisher.

Key Features
The copy protection implementation is transparent to playback devices to ensure excellent unhampered playback quality. RVP is a passive solution, with no software ever installed when using a PC as a DVD playback device. RVP controls access by common ripping programs without modifying the original DVD content.

RVP’s copy controls take up a small portion of the DVD storage capacity and are written in areas of the disc that are not read during playback.

Independent test labs have verified that RVP achieves a very high level of playback compatibility with DVDR players and does not install software or modify a user’s system.

Availability
RVP is available on the following Rimage systems.
• Producer III systems, Rimage 8100N, Rimage 7100N, Rimage 6100N
• Professional series Rimage 5400N

RVP Dongles
RVP license credits are implemented on the Rimage system through a security device called a dongle. The RVP dongle is a USB flash drive (see below) that connects to a Rimage Control Center USB port to authenticate and decrement the RVP credits as consumed. The credits are registered with the Rimage Software Suite’s Production Server by attaching the RVP USB flash drive (called a dongle) to the Control Center’s USB port.

When the RVP option is selected, a credit is decremented for each disc recorded with RVP. The status information is obtained through the Rimage System Manager under the Production Server Information.

As new versions of Rimage Video Protect are released, there is no need to replace RVP Dongles. The updated RVP software resides on the control center, and RVP Dongles are generic are not specific to a particular version of RVP.
