Linius Technologies Ltd (ASX:LNU) has been appointed by Roadshow Films, a division of Village Roadshow (ASX:VRL), to provide its antipiracy technology solution.

Linius’ antipiracy technology is centred on its patented Video Virtualization Engine (VVE).

Linius and Roadshow Films have entered into an agreement to deploy the Linius VVE anti-piracy solution for video content for an initial 12-month term.

The initial content will comprise a 6-part TV mini-series produced by Roadshow Films, with a targeted launch date of the program in Australia in early Q1, 2018.

The application of the VVE anti-piracy solution has begun in studio production, and will be expanded to distribution to the retail platform, expected in Q4 2017.

IBM, as Linius’s collaboration partner, is co-ordinating the design and integration of the Linius VVE anti-piracy solution with existing Roadshow Films infrastructure.

This technology deployment is intended to confirm the value of the solution for premium-content owners globally.

Linius is pricing this technology on a per-unit software licence fee basis.

Importantly, material revenue from this deployment is expected to be earned as distribution of the virtual files move beyond production to end users.

The actual revenue will be dependent on the number of retail channels and end users, and the resulting video assets, storage and watermarking requirements.
