Telecine anti - Encoder: An anti piracy system in movie theatres

Abstract

In recent scenario, piracy is ruling over the film industry. Screening movies are recorded with small cameras and pirated CDs are produced (TC Rip /TeleCine rip). To overcome this problem the concept of "Anti Piracy System in Cinema Theatres" is implemented. In this the piracy of movies is controlled by making the videos that is screened a non-recordableone. The Standard Frame rate (Frames per Second or FPS) of videos that is screened is 24frames/sec. Here the concept is that to vary the frame rate in such a way that no cameras can record it. The frame rate of video that is screened is changed with FPS converter software applications. It should lie in a range of values which is lesser or greater than the cameras recording Frame rate. Due to this difference between the frame rate of screening video and cameras recording, the video becomes non recordable by the cameras. Continuous waves or black frames will disturb the recording. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
