CSS supports the digital watermark feature. Supports both Basic Copyright Watermark and NexGuard Forensic Watermark (in collaboration with NAGRA) versions.Billing is based on the duration of watermark embedding and the frequency of watermark extraction.

Billing Instructions
Billable item: Adding digital watermarks duration.
Billing mode: Postpaid.
Billing cycle: Daily billing. Fees for adding digital watermarks will be charged when the bill is generated on the following day. Specific billing and statement times are subject to the actual bill.
Billing rules:
Billing is based on the resolution and frame rate of the output stream and charged separately.
Calculate the actual duration of live streams with digital watermarks added for each output specification within a billing cycle, and multiply it by the corresponding unit price.
The "Digital Watermark Addition" feature depends on the "Live Transcoding" feature. Therefore, using the digital watermarking feature will incur charges for both "Digital Watermark Addition" and "Live Transcoding".
When the duration of adding digital watermarks is less than one minute, it will be billed as one minute.
Billing Formula
Adding digital watermarks fee = Adding digital watermarks duration × Unit price of corresponding resolution and frame rate.
Billing Example
If you used the live streaming service to add basic digital watermarks on March 20, where live stream A was pushed for 120 minutes at H.264_1080P, 60FPS, and the original stream was pulled for 60 minutes, and live stream B was transcoded to H.265_720P, 30FPS for 30 minutes, then on March 21, the fees you need to pay for adding digital watermarks and transcoding are:
Adding digital watermarks fee = 0.167 (USD/minute) × 60 (minutes) + 0.07 (USD/minute) × 30 (minutes) = 12.12 USD.
Transcoding fee = 0.0111 (USD/minute) × 60 (minutes) + 0.0275 (USD/minute) × 30 (minutes) = 1.491 USD.
Digital Watermark Extraction
|
NAGRA NexGuard | Not differentiated | 37 |
Basic digital watermarks | 30FPS | 2.1 |
| 60FPS | 4.2 |
| 120FPS | 8.4 |
Note:
The console and API currently only support extracting "basic digital watermarks". To extract "NAGRA NexGuard digital watermarks", please contact your business representative or submit a ticket, and attach the video file involving suspected unauthorized playback. Billing Instructions
Billing item: Times of extracting digital watermarks.
Billing mode: Postpaid.
Billing cycle: Billed daily. Daily digital watermark extraction fees will be deducted when the billing statement is issued the next day. Detailed billing and statement issuance time are subject to the actual billing statement.
Billing rule: Count the times of extracting digital watermarks at different frame rates within a billing cycle, then multiply by the corresponding unit price.
Billing Example
If you used CSS on March 20 for a 10-minute, 1080P, 60FPS video and used the basic digital watermark extraction service once, then on March 21, the fee you need to pay for digital watermark extraction is:
1 (time) × 4.2 (USD/time) = 4.2 USD.
