Abstract
The effectiveness of a previously proposed system for embedding watermarks into video frames in real time using software on an ordinary personal computer was evaluated. The proposed system uses standard-definition(SD) video I/O and is separate from the encoding process, so it can be incorporated into various types of encoding and distribution systems, which makes it well suited for distributing live content. The evaluation results with regard to watermark visibility and survivability, resource consumption, and feasibility show that this system is applicable to various practical uses.
