HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- C. Bradley Hunt, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of the Motion Picture Association of America, has joined the board of Teletrax, the global broadcast intelligence company announced today.

A subsidiary of Medialink Worldwide Incorporated , Teletrax offers the first and only digital video watermarking and content tracking service that provides vital television intelligence on a global scale to video providers such as entertainment studios, news organizations, sports leagues, TV syndicators, and the advertising industry. Teletrax is a joint venture between Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands and Medialink.

"We are thrilled that Brad will be joining us at such an important stage in the development of Teletrax, and at a time when the management and protection of video content is so high on the agenda of content creators and owners," said Laurence Moskowitz, chairman of Teletrax and chief executive officer of its parent, Medialink. "Brad's vast experience, intimate knowledge of the motion picture industry and technological vision will help us ensure we meet the ever-evolving critical needs of our clients."

With a number of new and existing clients seeking added breadth of their video monitoring and analysis, Teletrax is nearly complete in its next phase of its growth with the expansion of its network to track television broadcasts in all 210 U.S. markets, from the nation's largest market, New York, through the smallest measured television market, Glendive, Montana. Through this expanded network, Teletrax provides video content owners with the ability to track and monitor short- and long-form programming and airings of TV promotions and advertising spots throughout all markets in the United States and the larger markets in Canada, ensuring the proper utilization of content and protection of assets.

Hunt began his career with Eastman Kodak Company in 1976, where he was steadily promoted over his 20 year career holding positions in research and development, marketing, international sales, and strategic planning in the motion picture and digital film businesses. In 1999, he joined the Motion Picture Association of America as CTO and was named executive vice president in 2005. Hunt is a fellow of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and a participant in more than a dozen motion picture, television, and video technology standards committees.

Hunt joins Larry Goodman, formerly president of sales and operations for AOL Time Warner's CNN, as non-executive board members of Teletrax. Goodman joined the board in April 2006.

"I am very excited to be able to participate at a high level in defining the strategic direction and future growth of Teletrax, a leader in broadcast monitoring services not only in the United States, but worldwide," said Hunt. "My involvement in digital television standards, content watermarking and new online media distribution will allow me to bring useful insight and be a strong contributor to the board of Teletrax."

Launched in 2002 as a service developed by a joint venture between Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands and Medialink, with an underlying technology that is patent protected both by Philips and Digimarc Corp. , Teletrax's technology embeds an imperceptible and indelible digital watermark into video whenever it is edited, transmitted, broadcast, or duplicated.

A global network of decoders, or "detectors," then captures all occurrences of the embedded video being transmitted via satellite, cable or terrestrially and generates tracking reports for the content owners. Reports of individual broadcast airings are delivered online in near real-time to each client's custom-designed portal or in data file transfers. Each client's broadcast activity is updated dynamically, 24 hours a day, enabling clients to respond immediately to reported results such as changes in end-user preferences or detections of unauthorized use.

Teletrax provides vital broadcast television intelligence to video content providers such as entertainment companies, news organizations, TV syndicators, and the advertising industry. The company currently maintains a proprietary network of detectors that monitors the television broadcasts of 1,300 channels from more than 50 nations, including delivering nearly full market coverage in the United States. Its international network covers television stations across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Australia, South and Central America, and Canada.

Entertainment, news, media, and advertising organizations both within and outside of the United States that also have contracted to use Teletrax for the tracking of news video, advertising or promotional content include ABC Television Network, BBC, Buena Vista Television, Fox Broadcasting Company, NBC News Channel, The NBC Agency, NBC Universal Domestic Television, Reuters Television, Tribune Entertainment, United Nations, A1GP, ITN Networks, Euro RSCG 4D DRTV, and Medialink. A number of other companies are also in active trials with the Teletrax service.
