However, for its ultimate use by the consumer, the music must be decrypted and converted back to analog where digital encryption techniques are ineffective. As a result, an audio watermark that survives both digital and analog transmissions becomes necessary to carry copy protection information forward. ÿþ</font>ÿþ</p>ÿþ ÿþ</td>ÿþ ÿþ</tr>ÿþ ÿþ</table>ÿþ ÿþ<tableÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ<trÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ<tdÿþ ÿþwidth="565"ÿþ>ÿþ<pÿþ ÿþstyle="text-align: justify"ÿþ>ÿþ<fontÿþ ÿþface="Tahoma"ÿþ ÿþsize="2"ÿþ>ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ For this purpose, the SDMI has adopted the Verance Phase 1 Watermark System. The Verance system will indicate when the software used by initial, or Phase I, SDMI-compliant portable devices should be upgraded to incorporate Phase II technology. Until that time, all music compatible with a particular device will be playable, whether the music is in a protected or unprotected format. When Phase II technology is ready, detection of the watermark will automatically let consumers know that their software can be upgraded to play new SDMI compliant music releases. If a consumer chooses not to upgrade, the device will not play these new music releases. Upgraded SDMI-compliant portable devices will continue to play existing music, future unprotected music files and new music released with SDMI technology. Verance is working on its SDMI Phase II offering and will present its system to the SDMI Plenary in the coming months. ÿþ</font>ÿþ</p>ÿþ ÿþ<pÿþ ÿþstyle="text-align:justify"ÿþ>ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ</td>ÿþ ÿþ</tr>ÿþ ÿþ</table>ÿþ ÿþ<tableÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ<trÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ<tdÿþ>ÿþ<pÿþ ÿþalign="justify"ÿþ>ÿþ<fontÿþ ÿþface="Tahoma"ÿþ ÿþsize="3"ÿþ>ÿþ<strongÿþ>ÿþAbout Portalplayer, Inc.ÿþ</strong>ÿþ</font>ÿþ</td>ÿþ ÿþ</tr>ÿþ ÿþ</table>ÿþ ÿþ<tableÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ<trÿþ>ÿþ ÿþ<tdÿþ ÿþwidth="565"ÿþ>ÿþ<pÿþ ÿþstyle="text-align: justify"ÿþ>ÿþ<fontÿþ ÿþface="Tahoma"ÿþ ÿþsize="2"ÿþ>ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ&nbsp;ÿþ PortalPlayer, Inc. supplies consumer electronics manufacturers with complete platform solutions for secure delivery and management of digital media via the Internet.
