DX8100 Viewer

Welcome to the DX8100 Viewer application. The DX8100 Viewer is capable of playing back a variety of video, still image, and audio media formats. It is designed to recognize and verify the digital watermark that is embedded in DX8100 native video. Watermarking is used to authenticate the originality of a video file and to alert users of possible image tampering. The viewer application runs automatically each time a CD or DVD created by the DX8100’s export feature is inserted into a Windows-based PC. The software can also be installed on a PC and opened independently when necessary.

This section describes how to install, set up, and use the DX8100 Client Viewer, and includes the following topics:
