Can you shut down unauthorized streams while a game or event is still live?
Yes. The Cyclops dashboard provides content owners with a kill switch to use at their discretion during a live event.
Which types of watermarking do you offer?
We offer both forensic watermarking (for tracing leaks back to individual users or accounts and shutting them down in near-real-time) and distributor watermarking (for identifying which downstream partners and broadcasters have the most leaks).
Do I have to find the unauthorized streams on my own (or pay a third-party service) to take advantage of this solution?
No. We have a fleet of web crawlers that identifies unauthorized streams in real-time and traces the leaks back to the source.
Can I embed this solution into my existing media delivery workflow if I have a unique set of requirements?
Yes. We offer an “embeddable” integration in addition to our hosted SaaS platform option.
Are you integrated with the major Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)?
Yes. Please contact us for a full list of supported CDNs.
Can you help reduce CDN leeching?
Yes. Our solution provides enhanced security and request monitoring to identify instances of CDN leeching.
Will this add latency to my stream?
The cyclops system does not add any perceivable latency to your streams.
What CDNS do you work with?
We have integrated or are actively working on integrations with all major CDNs.
How long is the integration process?
Exchanging the information needed to facilitate your coverage typically requires around a 1 week turnaround.
Do you find the pirate sites or do I need to supply them?
Redflag automatically finds a wide range of live streaming piracy sites, and continuously updates our internal lists, however if there are particular sites that are important to your business feel free to provide us a list and we will add them within 2-4 weeks of request.
How many concurrent pirating sites can you monitor?
Our automated system adds new piracy domains to a core database of over 10,000 sites as they are detected, so there is no hard limit on how many concurrent sites can be monitored.
Does this replace my need for DRM and proper authentication?
No! Cyclops is designed specifically to work on top of existing best practices. It works to ensure that no authenticated user will be able to leak your content for more than 5 mins, however it is important to secure the alternative pathways for pirates to gain access.
Redflag is an industry leader and has helped many large brands secure their content and we would be happy to audit your live stream architecture and secure any leaks.
How many concurrent users can you support/monitor?
The only limitation here is that we have a somewhat accurate estimate of the total concurrent sessions you're expecting per stream. This should be an upper bound number.
What is your time to kill a live piracy stream?
We provide an industry leading time to kill that can be as low as 3.5 minutes. Meaning that within 3.5 minutes of your stream going live on a pirate site, it is shut down, replaced with alternate content, or simply reported to you for awareness and monitoring.
Which sites and platforms do you scan for copyright infringements?
We scan thousands of piracy sites (including torrent sites), as well as all of the major social media platforms, including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram. Further, we can scan major Ecommerce sites, such as Amazon, eBay, FlipKart, and Tokopedia.
