The Virtual Digital Hologram (VDH) Hexa. Lock’s VDH technology creates special bit patterns on the CD that provide a “Hologram Effect” to the CD/DVD reading device. Optical Hologram creates different views, to the human eye. But a picture of an optical hologram creates a view from a specific angle. Similarly, when making a copy of a CD-RX the VDH pattern will disappear. Instead, a static bit pattern will appear.

VDH (cont. ) When making a copy of a CD-RX disc the VDH pattern will disappear. Instead, a static bit pattern will appear. The Hexa. Lock software will detect the absence of the VDH and act accordingly.

The Auto. Lock Wizard Hexa. Lock has developed its own recording software, the Auto. Lock Wizard. The Auto. Lock Wizard is available free of charge. The Auto. Lock Wizard can be used to protect both software program files and content only files such as documents, presentations, and multimedia files. Flagged Gold Masters – CD-ROM Replication Flagged Gold Images – CD-RX Duplication The Auto. Lock Wizard is also a “desktop software” that allows recording of one CD-RX at a time on your own desktop computer and a standard recorder.

Copy Protection Applications Software Copy Protection Software developers and publishers can use CD-RX media to protect low volume productions, beta copies and press samples of their software. Protected CD-ROMs are used for larger volume distributions. The protected files can then run only when the protected CD on which they were made exists in one of the local CD/DVD drives. Protected software can be copied to the HDD for performance reasons, but it still requires the original CD in the drive.

Copy Protection Applications Content Copy Protection Hexa. Lock Content Protection System (HCPS) is the only copy protection system in the world that can protect content files while making them 100% transparent to viewing/playing in their default players. Protectable File Types: PDF, HTML, GIF, JPG, AVI, MPEG. Protected content files can then be viewed/played only from the original CD. Unlike protected program files, protected content files become unusable when copied to the HDD or any other media. Copying the contents of protected files using Copy & Paste, Save As, e-Mail, and optionally, even print, is blocked.
