Video Encoded Invisible Light
Video Encoded Invisible Light , abbreviated VEIL (veil English veil, veil ), is a copy protection process for moving pictures, which is supposed to prevent the filming of copyrighted films on a monitor . In 2012, consideration was given to using VEIL for HD films on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs .
The functional principle is based on special image markings ( luminance signal ) that are practically invisible to the human eye and can see, among other things. a. propose that all video cameras of future generations permanently check their recorded image information in a permanently embedded chip for those significant markings; if such a mark is recognized, the camera would refuse to record or output data.
This assumes that all manufacturers of video cameras worldwide submit to a corresponding voluntary commitment and that all cameras are equipped accordingly. An analogous approach was also sought for the copy protection of banknotes using certain patterns in combination with hardware and software mechanisms. A single model worldwide that has not implemented the protection mechanism is theoretically sufficient to circumvent the protection concept and render the protection ineffective. The expansion of the open source idea away from software and towards hardware and machines would have a decisive influence on the ineffectiveness of the process.
