Stegawave is an all-in-one forensic watermarking platform for streaming content that embeds unique, invisible identifiers into video streams to trace piracy sources. It's interesting because it combines real-time watermark injection, automated piracy detection, and instant blocking into a single enterprise service designed for live sports and premium media. The platform claims to work with existing streaming protocols (SRT/HLS/DASH) and uses hardware acceleration for low-latency performance.

Target audience: media-companies, streaming-platforms, content-rights-holders, broadcast-engineers
