Can UDPi’s methodology incorporate a potential solution to the Print Screen Method of copying next generation DVDs?
With the Print Screen Method, there can be software that runs and automatically generates the Print Screen and saves in a file. The video stream is captured on a frame-by-frame basis (successive JPEG images). UDPi can potentially prevent this method of copying because the data sent to the screen could be protected through UDPi’s method so the screen decodes the data and a Print Screen will capture the screen but in its UDPi protected format. With this method, only the specific screen that was used to create the Print Screen file can play back the file. The same file played on another computer will not be interpreted correctly, resulting in scrambled data (UDPi’s Digital Fog™). The Print Screen Method, under the protection of UDPi, simply becomes a method of capturing the UDPi protected stream of data for the screen upon which the capturing is taking place. This process requires a UDPi video card and a UDPi-protected screen (protected integrated system).
