Audio Auditing has recently patented watermarking technology MediaMark and MusicMark which allows instant recognition by the decoding equipment of an unique code embedded in the audio. This inaudible code is repeated every two seconds throughout the watermarked audio, and is therefore tamper proof and extremely robust. This is a technological progression of the digital pattern matching system which has been successfully used by Audio Auditing to monitor radio and television broadcasts since January 1992. It also brings with it certain advantages not possible with the digital pattern matching system currently in use.Audio Auditing Services
Audio Auditing has two objectives for the use of this technology:- To provide next day verification for the agency/media buyer that their radio & TV advertisements were flighted on the right station, on the specified day, during the correct time channel and in the required language, to ensure that the advertisement reached the targeted audience, and to enable timely corrections to any errors in the ad campaign.
- To provide hard copy proof, in the form of a compliance certificate, of electronic media advertising expenditure for the client and the client's internal and external financial auditors.
