(Old Lyme, Connecticut - May 27, 2005) - USA Video Interactive Corp. (OTCBB: USVO; TSX.V: US; BSE/Frankfurt: USF; http://www.usvo.com),
USA Video Interactive Corp. (the "Company") announces that the Honorable Judge Kent A. Jordon of the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, has denied the Company's motion for reconsideration, which leaves standing the court's previous order of summary judgment against the Company in its patent infringement litigation against Movielink LLC (see the Company's News Release dated January 31, 2005). The Company will evaluate possible further steps in this litigation. In the meantime, the Company continues to focus on the development and marketing of its MediaSentinel TM digital watermarking technology and in particular, the marketing relationships with First Serve International, LLC and Lightning Media as announced in the Company's News Releases dated May 11, 2005 and September 22, 2004, respectively.
Current Business
USVO has developed and is currently working towards the commercialization of a turn-key embedded work station that provides lip synchronized video/audio intelligent watermarking solution for content (movies, broadcasting) forensic tracking purposes (the " MS 200 "). The MS 200 product will come as a professional rack-mount type workstation with SmartMark 2.0 embedded software that works with Windows 2000 or XP, in conjunction with existing professional recording/playback equipment. SmartMark 2.0 software can be used to insert a unique set of content density monitoring particles ('content agents') in USVO's MediaSentinel TM watermark generator that goes onto a digital tape. Any copy onto a disc or a peer-to-peer file still carries the set of content agents, creating a robust, video dynamics oriented watermark generation solution.
MediaSentinel TM is a digital watermark based technology, which deters video content piracy by preserving in any unauthorized copies, an encrypted identifier which was embedded in the original authorized video content.
With SmartMark 2.0 implemented into a MS 200 workstation, large volumes of uniquely watermarked digital master and sub-master copies can be created. Key management generates a set of keys unique for each user, such as company name, USVO's internal company code, or other parameter, used as a "seed" for key generation.
SmartMark 2.0 powers the underlying USVO MediaSentinel TM watermark technology as a significantly enhanced version of the same technology that was deployed last October at Lightning Media's facility, Hollywood, California, with the primary goal of safeguarding the original content and assisting in the discovery of the origin of illegally copied and distributed versions of motion pictures and broadcast shows prior to their official release.
A new graphical user interface provides control of the watermarking and key management process. The results of the SmartMark 2.0 process are extremely piracy-attack resistant and uniquely marked and identify content master copies as an input onto a DVD disc.
